We had a situation this evening between my 11 year old cat, my 10 month old son and my husband. My husband and son were playing while I was doing the clean up from dinner. My son crawled into the kitchen with my husband beside him, then out of nowhere our cat Rory appears, she was behind my baby, smelling his bum. She let out a weird meow and it almost looked like she was trying to climb on top of him and like she was stalking her prey at the same time. My husband quickly scooped the baby up, and seconds later she full out lunged and attacked my husband. His legs are both all scratched up. She has attacked people before, however in those cases it was fear based and in this case she came out of nowhere for no reason and attacked. Prior to the incident they were not bothering her, or in her space at all. It came out of nowhere. Currently, she is now barricaded in our laundry room. I’m not sure where to go from here with her. I can’t have her harming my baby. Any thoughts or advice would be appreciated.
For full disclosure, Rory has been treated for on going urinary infections since Easter. She is currently on a medication for one at the moment. We also have a feliway for her, and she has her own safe spaces.
