Hello!
A stray cat started coming around this past April and I started leaving out food for him. He would run to me for food and did let me pet him, only one pet or two on his back while he ate. He had bitten and clawed me a couple of times. He showed up one day bloody and his face was so clawed up. I eventually trapped him and got him neutered. We brought him home and decided to keep him inside. We kept him in a separate room since we do have other cats and introduced them slowly. He gets along perfectly with the others but my husband and myself not so much. He will come to us, tail up and rub on our legs then it's like a switch flipped and he attacks our legs by biting and clawing. It's been about 2 1/2 weeks since he has been neutered. It's really confusing to me why he is doing this...I have never trapped and taken in a stray cat before so this is all new to me. He has attacked us even when we are just walking by or doing things around the house. I am not sure what happened to him while he was outside and I blame him one bit. I know he can be a good boy but it's making me stressed and sad because I want to keep him and give him a good home. Any ideas or advice about his behavior would be so appreciated.
