"Tracy" wrote in message ... From: "Mary" There has been discussion here on a phenomenon that I think was referred to as "misdirected aggression." I have seen it in one of our cats, who saw a cat through a window and turned and attacked my husband's ankle. This happened years ago with my Maine coon. He would sit in the window and get all aggitated watching the birds, and then be ugly to the humans in the house. He launched a very bad( unprovoked ) attack on my then 3 year old son one day, and jumped up at him and dug down the side of his face, and that was it for me. I tossed his butt out the door and instructed him to feel free to get hit by a car. Instead of getting hit, he promptly killed a couple of birds and then came back in with a renewed spirit and a sweet nature. That was 16 years ago. He never was mean again after he was allowed to go out when he wanted to. I refuse to respond to this obvious troll. Let the record show that I can indeed summon restraint when I wish to. Thank you. |

I thought that was the point of the group....I thought wrong. |
