I've posted before about my cat buy nothing has changed at all.
We adopted him 2 years ago. He was 3/4 years old un nuteured Tom found living rough. A local cat charity took him in and castrated him and then we adopted him.
He has absolutely destroyed a sofa, 2 leather chairs and a carpet with his scratching. He will not use any type of scratching post or pad. He sprays frequently. Sometimes in front of me and even pissed in the toaster.
The main problem though is his agression. He frequently attacks my 15 year old Tom. I keep them mostly seperate but we have kids so it's impossible to keep them totally seperate all the time. He attacks alk the neighbourhood cats too. I've had my next door neighbour round in tears as he's constantly attacking one of her cats. If I try and keep him in he gets aggressive with me and the kids and scratches the door so hard it sounds like he's kicking it in. And then he'll pounce on the other cat. If I'm late feeding him he does the same. Or he'll go up to the chair and start scratching it.
I've tried felliway but it only worked for a day or two. He's been to the vet but he attacked her too. The vet thinks he's just a nasty cat and a killer. She thinks he was castrated too late and lived rough too long to be a family cat.
I do have a friend with a small holding who could take him but that would be a last resort. Two of the three kids do like him despite him also scratching and biting them. My husband strongly feels he should be rehomed but I'd rather try and tame him if at all possible.
