Hello,
I rescued a cat 7 years ago. Ed got adopted twice then given back because of his unprovoked agression. He has been to the vet and nothing is physically wrong with him. He is lovable and affectionate, but tempermental.
He attacks me almost every day. This has been going on for as long as I've had him; however, when i lived with my boyfriend, he never attacked him. It usually happens at night when i go up the steps to bed. He will bite my legs and i have to jump into bed or he'll get me again. And he bites HARD, very hard.
A year ago, someone dumped at cat on my porch. Extremely lovable fellow, easy going temperament and Ed got along with him. I named him Little Man. Ed and Little Man play, but Ed also gets very agressive to the point where Little Man cries. Now Little Man takes the brunt of the attacks. A week ago i found blood on my pillow case and blood in the food bowl. I believe Little Man got attacked really badly when I wasn't home.
I just am so tired. I cannot afford to put Ed on medication and I don't want to do that. I've been losing my temper more and more and that's not good for either of them. Someone suggest buying a nice big cage with various levels to put Ed in when he gets out of control. Any thoughts on that? I'm at my wit's end.
Many thanks
