Hi guys!
My 10 year old neutered male tried something TWICE last night that he’s never done before: he tried to bite when I gently but firmly pushed him to move. He’s vocalized his objection in the past, he doesn’t like to move when I tell him to, but the overt aggression is new. Ironically I was telling him to scootch over so I could put a thicker blanket on the bed more for his benefit than mine. No broken skin but I admit it made me quite angry. I only got him to move by clapping loudly by his head. Any ideas on how to prevent this from escalating? I’ve been fortunate that I’ve never ever had to deal with aggressive biting (as opposed to play biting from a kitten).
