We have 2 cats, one male(Pekoe) and one female(Chai). The female is about 5 years old and the male is 6. Both cats used to sleep with us but on occasion Pekoe would attack Chai and chase her off the bed, maybe once a month to the point where Chai no longer sleeps with us. I took it as Pekoe laying claim to the bed. Now in the last 3 months he has attacked me 3 times usually after giving him attention in the middle of the night. I thought maybe I had startled him or perhaps I had accidentally touched his back feet(which he hates)I wasn't sure because I had barely been conscious when it happened but just this morning at 4am I woke up wide awake for no apparent reason, Pekoe was beside me as usual so I gave him a couple stokes on the head and a short little chin rub and I stopped. The whole moment lasted maybe 15 seconds and then he literally launched at my arm dug his claws in and bit me. He never does this during the day and it has all started since our other cat quite sleeping in our room. I can't make heads or tails of this, it kinda seems possible for it to be petting aggression but the attention I have been giving him is so short I don't know, does anybody have any ideas?
