Yes, I read the sticky above.
But even reading through that I'm confused as to why my cat is attacking me at random, climbing up my back suddenly, and ignoring toys in favor of biting me. :/
He's only 6 months, he could be playing, but I have so many scratches now that its starting to worry me. Scaring him with spray doesn't do anything it just seems to aggravate him more.
Maybe its my fault. When I'm in bed under the duvet and he's pouncing my feet I'll wiggle them for fun; he can't hurt me under the duvet.
Maybe he can smell that the wiggle is me.
I don't mind him scratching stuff, but not me. I had a cry this morning, actually I'm tearing up a bit now, because I mentally thought that maybe I should reconsider declawing. But then I think about the shelter cats who were declawed who were so frail and attacked by other cats and I get scared. I could never hurt my cat like that! Its vengeful thinking that.
But he won't let me clip his nails! He'll be so docile and sleeping but when I clip one nail he'll be right awake and skittish, ears folded.
Other than these moments of agression, he's a funny, cuddly normal cat.
Should I try felliway or something like that?
