I am in desperate need of help with our newest kitten who is now 3 months old. His name is Coco. First it's been a real struggle with him, he won't eat any kind of cat food wet or dry, so he eats actual baby food (chicken flavor) and once in a great while he will eat kitty treats. Second of all my two resident cat's really don't like him, they rarely come in the house because of him. He (Coco) is a very mean kitten, he attacks my resident cats and he attacks my husband and I. My legs and arms are so badly scratched up. We have many toys for him and we give him plenty of attention and play with him with his string toys but it seems this isn't enough. We have to keep him in a separate room at night when we sleep for fear he will beat our resident cats up, our resident cats are so afraid of Coco because of his extreme aggression. I am really debating if it is worth it to keep Coco anymore, I hate the thought of possibly having to take him to shelter but I just don't know what to do anymore. I have never had a cat or kitten that was like this. I have talked to our vet and he just says it's a phase and he will out grow it, this was at 6 weeks old when we asked this. Well here we are at 3 months old and so far no signs of it being outgrown. I just don't think it's fair to my other two cats to keep getting beat up on and it's not a playful beating, it is actual biting and scratching to the point of drawing blood, even to myself and my husband. Please if you have any suggestions I am all ears and willing to try anything. Otherwise I may have to take him to shelter as much as I don't want to because I can't deal with the aggression of Coco.
Thank you
