Angry cat
Hi, I have a male,neutered tabby; almost 3 years old. Over the past few
months he has started exhibiting rather disturbing behaviour. A month or so ago he got angry when I apparently didn't do what he wanted and he swatted me in the face giving me a cut above my eye. Since then whenever he doesn't want something, like he doesn't want to be petted at that moment, he hits. He is an indoor cat and I take him out when I can on a leash. He gets very, very angry when it's time to come in. Hissing and scratching. Today was the worse. I couldn't get the leash or harness off for awhile after I got him inside. And for hours he has skulked around the house swatting anytime I try to touch him. This makes me think of a spoiled child. Is it something that I should be really concerned about or try to work out? Any suggestions would be helpfull. I really don't want to lose him even though he has begun to make me feel rather nervous at times. BsT |

Uh....how 'bout getting a litterbox and keeping him inside. Of course if he starts pummelling at the door, you have another problem. What prompted you to do the dog thing..you know...put the cat on a leash and walk him like a dog? |

Because many cats LIKE to go for walks to actually get out of the house and it isn't safe to let tham wander unattended. Some don't like to be cooped up all the time. They don't necessarily go potty outside. Mine doesn't. But she'd get awful ****y if I made her stay in all the time. The other two don't want anything to do with it. But Rowan would have a fit if she was never allowed out. Walking on a leash is not just a dog thing. Cats, ferrets, bunnies, and pigs are all pets that can enjoy the fresh air. You probably won't get any of them to heel or sit, though. heh -- -- ~kaeli~ Does the name Pavlov ring a bell? http://www.ipwebdesign.net/wildAtHeart http://www.ipwebdesign.net/kaelisSpace |

We live on a very, very busy street and since moving up here have had all the cats I've had on leashes. Just that Giles is the first to get so angry when I wanted him to go inside. He does have his box inside. I did like the suggestion of a cat-run, will have to look into that. I think his turn of attitude started when I started working the overnight shift at work. I don't think he likes me sleeping all day and gone all night. Unfortunately I still have about 4 weeks of nights to go. BsT |
