Hello, hoping for some advice please. I’ve had cats all my life, have worked in a shelter and fostered lots of cats but this is a problem I haven’t had before and really don’t know what to do.
We have 13 year old neutered male tabby. We’ve had him all his life and adopted him and his brother as kittens, although his brother died some time ago.
He’s extremely needy with people and will ask for fuss all the time. The problem is, he attacks me! I’m very used to shy cats, feral cats, cats that decide to grab you half way through you stroking them etc but he is actually coming at me if I just walk past him, I’ve been bitten and scratched multiple times, he attacks me for no reason and seeks me out to do it.
It’s been getting worse over the last couple of years, but starting when I was pregnant with my son 10 years ago! He doesn’t do it to my husband or children but has occasionally to my mum and sister.
I don’t know what to do, I can’t ever abandon an animal we’ve given a home to but I’m getting nervous in my own house!
