Semi-long story short:
I've had my cat for about 2.5 years. Hes always been the most loving, perfect little kitty. Then I gave a stray cat outside my house some attention, apparently getting his/her smell on me. I take this smell into the house and my cat is acting like normal, then he gets a smell of the other cat and attacks me! He is popping, growling and hissing at me. After he got done trying to murder me, I tried to reason with him, saying nice things, crouching etc. It didn't help at all, he was on guard keeping me in the kitchen so I sprayed him with water =/... bad move I guess. Now a few weeks later, I can't do anything with him. If i walk into the house, he hisses and attacks and acts very scared, even though I've done nothing since the water squirting.
My wife can pick him up, even mid attack/hissing and he is just fine with her, but hates me it seems. I consider this cat to be a son, and I'm not sure what to do.
A couple other little notes:
He will (most of the time) be fine with me if I'm sitting down, but turns very aggro if I'm standing. Though sometimes he will come up to me while I'm sitting, he will act all lovey then attack at what seems to be random. I've been trying a spray that is suppose to calm him down, this doesn't work very well for me.
(yes this is the short version) =D
thanks!
