My cat is 7 months old, she was neutered 2 months ago. She has these really weird mood swings. Usually during the day she is really sweet, she comes up to me to cuddle and purrs the whole time, and she licks my face and sleeps on my lap.
But suddenly (usually in the evenings) she can become really aggressive. She bites and doesn’t back down, scratches me, attacks me (and my guests also). Usually this happens when she is not allowed something, like when she tries to eat food off the dinner table, enters the kitchen cabinets or scratches my furniture (I have one big cat tree and two big scratching posts).
I don’t yell at her, I just tell her no and then pick her up and put her somewhere else, but she will run away really quickly and then bite and attack. I’m afraid my cat gets scared of me, and that this might be the reason. So how do I regain her trust while also keeping boundaries and stopping her from biting?
