But dealing with a cat with this issue is something most people can't really imagine. It is a real organic problem. My vet has compared it to living with a paranoid person who isn't on medication. I have lived with such a person and that's actually a pretty good comparison. You never know what's going to be the new monster this time around. Good lord, you and I have had the same life! ;-) ***KNOCK*** ***KNOCK*** ***KNOCK*** "Let me in!! I've Chaaaaaaaaaaaanged!" Hahahaha!!!!! Seriously, though, my parents' cat does the misdirected aggression thing, but only with *me*. We don't know the cat's origins (he was found wandering around a highway rest area), but there is something about me that triggers it in this cat. He is the only animal I've ever encountered in my life that reacted badly to me (and this includes animals that were supposedly "vicious" who I had nuzzling me within minutes), and he has, on several occasions, *chased* me through my parents' house. What triggers it in him? Besides my presence, of course, we have no idea. I have certainly never abused the big fat rat *******. :-) Laura --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.

I think she inherited her Mama Gnarly's less-than-stellar kitty intellect and cowardice. --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com).
