I think so too. Maybe get a behavior specialist on that? Or somethin like a training program? I just think he should know not to hurt you that bad. Is he a big dog?

He is a cat not a dog...so a training program will not work in my opinion...
For such a cute and cuddly creature he can be very intimidating. And he is around 12 pounds. We have an unusual relationship, he will 100% trust me only, but still do the aggressive things. Can't really undestand why, we tried the plug ins, the herbal remedies, nothing worked so far but I do not like the idea of him being on prescription drugs for this.

When u said angry it even sounded like a dog. I think you might need help then. Sorry I am of no help. I love the plug in Baby Brat is in bed at 10 and I go in there at 6 and she is 9 weeks and poop and pees on her pads now

That's ok, I appreciate the interest. We are thinking of a second kitten thinking that giving him a friend will balance out the situation but on the other hand who knows how he will react to a second cat.

If he is already like this am sure another kitten he might try to show dominance over.

I ordered mine 2 days ago, just one plug in and one spray. I might order more plug ins since we have 2 story apartment, need one downstairs and one upstairs.

We'll see how it goes, kitties are very anxious since we moved to the new place.

And nothing I do will make him stop, everything just makes him angrier, the only thing that works is toothpaste, he is scared of that, the smell. The bruises and everything is not because I let him it is just that by the time I get him off of me he does the damage.
Does your cat roam free?

I am thinking that if you have a containment area that you can restrict him to whenever he gets aggressive that he may in time get the idea and calm down.

I have a Cat PlayPen in my living room that I use when one of the cats misbehave or for a new cat waiting to be spayed/neutered. It has proved to be pretty handy for a place to calm down and I don't feel I am being cruel by containing a cat in a small cage.
The playpen has two benches and a hammock besides the floor level which contains a litter box on one side and food and water on the other.

I hope you can get Jakub calmed down because cat scratches and especially bites in particular can turn into some very nasty infections to deal with.

Good luck to both of you.

I got mine on ebay quite some time ago. You can find them in almost any pet supply store these days as well as online auctions.
Here is a picture from Drs. Foster & Smith of what they look like.


I also have a feliway plug-in on hand as well as the spray if I feel the need. I am afraid this new one with his spraying behavior is going to keep me on my toes.
