My wife and I are both new cat owners. We adopted Spike when he was 6 weeks old. His whole litter was being given away during a hike we had early September. Welcomed him into our home, struggled a bit getting him to eat solids but he was a playful and active kitten overall.
About over two months ago we started noticing more aggressive behavior on his end. Clawing, biting and scratching. He would climb up to our legs as if we were his scratching post. Now that he's about 5 months old with stronger teeth and sharper claws, he has been scratching and biting all of us (my wife and I including our 9 year old son). We could not even pet him most of the time because he would automatically attempt to bite. I feel like sudden movement actually triggers an "attack", usually when we would walk or even just fix stuff around the house and he sees our arm movements - not just a love bite but an aggressive attack. We have a lot of bite and scratch marks on our legs and arms - sometimes without a break in the skin but more often than not with it. We love Spike but this aggressive behavior is becoming very frustrating and painful for the entire family..... Any thoughts or suggestions on how we could go about this?
