Q: Aggressive cat
I have a male non-neutered cat. He doesn't spray but that isnt the problem. He's too darn aggressive. You pet him, he bites. You ignore him, he stalks you then bites. My poor daughter tries watching TV and the little bugger will come out of no where and jump on her head sctratching and biting. When we first brought him home he was extremely loving but he also was maybe only 4 weeks old and is now about 8 months old. He's been to the vet for regular exams and nothing seems to be physically wrong. His environment hasn't changed but his attitude has. At first I thought it was just his way of playing then it got out of hand when he bite me and drew blood. I dont want to give him up. Not by a long shot but I really would like some advice on the best way to help this situation before he really hurts someone else, mainly my 5 year old.
Oh yeah. This isnt a problem but more or less an annoyance but why on earth does he suck his tail? At first I thought it was cute but now it has gotten annoying espically when I'm trying to sleep and he thinks its ok to do that sitting on my pillow. Any ideas?
One more thing. He also LOVES to dump over anything that has water in it. His water bowl, a cup on the table. If it has water in it and noone is in the room, it's going over. He doesnt bother with other liquids, just water. I bet if he could he'd try to dump over the toilet. LOL. We keep the lids closed.
