I adopted a male (nuetered) cat just over a year ago. I did not realize that he was feral until I was actually doing the paperwork. They stated that he was very shy.
I took a chance, figured he had only been on the street his first 2-3 months. It took a short time for him to accept me. He is now 15 months old.
It is like he has 2 personalities. He always wants to be on my lap, against me in bed, etc
But yet he attacks me at random times. It is not the playful play-attack. It is biting and scratching. If I push him away he will come right back and continue. Then it's over and he is back to being friendly again.
Is this possibly from maybe generations of being feral? He is healthy but we can't figure out why he does this.
