What can I do about my aggressive cat2007-11-25 12:26:42

I have had this cat for 3 years. It has always been skittish. Suddenly he has started hissing and spitting at me. He is a big cat and I am actually scared of him now. I feel that he is going to really attack me and hurt me one day soon. What can I do to stop him from acting like this?

Answers:

When he hisses at you, grab him by the scruff of his neck and lift him off the ground. This establishes you as the alpha-dominant in his litter. It may take a few times to get this through your cat's head, but I've found it works like a charm.

Cut his nuts off.

Have you brought home a new pet or boyfriend? Both can cause trouble like you have written. I had a b/f that was kicking my cat when I wasn't looking, the cat's personality changed 100%. It's either the above or the cat has rabies.

He might be sick. I would suggest taking him to the vet. Good luck catching him and not getting hurt!

If he's healthy and just a nasty cat, I think it's best you try to find a new home for him. It's upsetting to have give a pet away but your safety is top priority. I don't think it's a good idea to keep him.

If you really want to work things out with kitty, ask your vet for advice on what options you have. There might be some rescue orginazations in your area that can help you with either finding a new home or help you to TRY and teach your cat to be nice. Most likely won't work though. :(
