He's a year old, and I think he was born feral. He was roughly two months when I got him, so he was probably separated from the litter too soon. On top of that, he seems to have a few mental issues.
The scratch on the hand was actually normal for him. He never learned bite inhibition and so this is how he plays.
Rather than giving up Charlie, perhaps your mom could get you a friendly cat who loves to be petted, and just let Charlie sit around in peace? Charlie is still young enough that another feline might be able to teach him some better social skills.
Unfortunately, my lease says only one animal per apartmentSome cats just don't like to be handled much, especially ones born feral and taken away from mom and litter mates too soon.
You need to find a better source of cats!
Sorry. That was a joke, and in your current circumstance, probably not funny.
*Only* service, therapy, and emotional support animals are allowed here, only one per apartment. There's no getting around it.You need to find a better source of cats!
Sometimes rental pet rules can be excepted if you have paperwork saying that you need emotional support animal(s).
If you completely leave Charlie alone, does he attack you without provocation (aside from when you are lying on the floor...and could put him in another room)? I hate to see a cat go to a shelter if just letting him hang out untouched would solve the problem.
I've been crying for a good two hours. Believe me, I didn't want it to end like this.
) all im saying is that we never know what trauma a feral cat had endured and what issues he had. the beginning might be hard but it might get better with time. you have done nothing wrong.
