we recently brought a new kitty in our home approx. 3 weeks ago. we rescued him from a bad home. he turned out to be the sweetest cat, loved to be pet and held. but that was while i had him separate in a different room. but within a few days of letting hm out to explore the new home and new cat-mates. he adapted really quickly. but after about a week of settling in, he started being violent to us. we'd be petting him like usual then he would stratch my hand or even my face. ouch!
this cat is really interesting. all of our ball oranments on our christmas tree are interesting, i found a broken one this morning. ive tried shouting NO! every time he jumps up on the table where the tree is. but hes sneaky! when hes hungry, he will flip over his food dish or drag it to the other side of the room. hahaha... he is NOT afraid of the vaccuum. i was shocked by this. both my other cats has always run and hide from it but this new kitty will stay right where he is and nap while i vaccuum the house. his sleeping spot is on the end of the couch on the top. he likes it there because from where he sleeps he can see through the mirror reflection to the kitchen where i am usually cooking or doing the dishes. my husband says he watches me a lot.
anyway, i am sad because... he is so violent. i had to give him medication for his ring worm and its a BATTLE everyday. i try wrapping him in a towel tightly and stick the pill in his mouth. he hides it under his tongue and spits it out later! I SAW HIM DOING IT!
Recently, i was petting him while he was on his couch (his spot) and he stratched my face out of the blue. i was so mad, i slapped his hand. he ran and hid. i went after him and i locked him away in another bedroom for about 10 minutes. i went back in there and he was napping on a chair, i went in and i sat down on the floor. he came and purrring and got in my lap and i spent about 5minutes being friendly with him then i let him out and now i am sitting on the couch typing this and he is sleeping on the couch very close to me (NOT His spot) and he has his arms stretched out to touch my shoulders and his face is rested near my shoulder, now he is being sweet.
he is a hyper energized kitten (6 months old) i wonder if this will grow out with age?? my two 3 year old cats arent that way anymore. maybe its just normal as a kitten to attack (play) or be so crazy and will grow out of it with age?
