Guys I need advice.
I have a roughly 1 1/2-year-old cat that we took in when he was a small kitten. he was neutered whenever the vet said to do so… I believe it was around three or four months.
When he was about seven months old he started showing some occasional aggression. That mostly subsided until a few months. He began acting sexual in nature out of nowhere. He will kneed at me or at a blanket and then will start this weird meow and try to hump. he will also bite at this point. I obviously don’t allow him to do this to me, but it is not unusual to find him humping my blankets which does not make me too happy.
more concerning though, he has become more aggressive again. I can read his body language and get him away from me before he attacks but I have three children and am worried for them. My older two are cautious around him and pretty good at avoiding getting attacked but both have been at one time or another. My youngest is only three and I’m becoming increasingly worried about her. She cannot read his body language and also cannot stop him if he goes to attack. The other day she was cuddling in my bed with me and he was laying next to her and all she did was reach over and try to pet him (very gently with only one finger). I was awake and saw his body language change and put my hand between them just in time. He lunged both claws out at her face. Thank God my hand was there to shove him away
tonight, he was in my bed lay next to me and began kneading at my arm. I was half asleep and not paying attention when all of a sudden he meowed and lunged at me. I shoved him away and everything is fine… But I am really concerned. I am afraid I cannot keep him if this continues. I do not want my children being injured.
I should note that I have a spayed female cat. While he annoys her at times I have never seen him do the sexual behaviors towards her.
advice is greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
