Please help! My kitty, Stanley, who is 3.5 years old is a rescue kitty...he is the love of my life...so affectionate. However, last night just before I went to bed he attacked...really bad, I believe I might have a couple of puncture wounds...he ripped through my PJs. Anyhow, I had a hard time getting him off me, but I was able to close him in the shower. When I raised a tissue to blow my nose he lurched forward into the glass to attack again. He's been in the bathroom (he opened the shower door) all time and I've periodically popped my head in trying to sooth him with my voice and all he does is growl at me.
The vet doesn't open for another hour and I've called the emergency vet hospital and they suggested putting him down. There has to be another option...he's my baby and my love.
Please help!

Update:
The vet was very helpful this morning, however, inconclusive. The results from his blood and urine test will be in tomorrow, but he was not running a tempature. Right now I'm giving him Rescue Remedy twice a day...hopefully it's just stress (I was out of town the night before and he might be sensing that I'll be gone for two weeks next month.) He doesn't like it when I pack my bags, which I rarely do. Unfortunately for me, the bite wounds got infected so I have to keep hot compresses on them and take antibiotics.
Thank you for all that showed concern, it was a tramatic event more so because he really scared me...and I love him more than anything (he's my baby.)
