Hi everyone I'm new here and was wondering if anyone could please help me?
I live with my nan and we own a 7 month old Egyptian Mau cross kitten called Casper who is constantly and viciously attacking my nan by hanging on to her and biting untill he draws blood. He does it mainly on her hands but when she stands up he jumps and attacks her body but he seems to be fine with me.
I'm worried that this is non playful aggression as he is now stalking her and looking to attack her wherever she goes. He hasn't been allowed out yet as he has just been neutered about two weeks ago but she wants him to be an indoor cat anyway. He's got all the toys you can imagine and is frequently played with so it can't be through boredom and he is never allowed to play with hands or feet.
She has tried gently scruffing him but to no avail as he just hangs on, she has no eye contact with him and walks away and shuts the door to try and calm him down but he still chases and jumps up clawing her stomach and back in the process. He's fed well and litter tray is always clean and he has full run of the house.
His aggression has got worse since being neutered and also we lost our Yorkie about 3 weeks ago as he was very old. He used to play with him but it soon turned to aggression. She has been reading up on how to try and solve the problem but they don't work. He's fine as far as we know medically so don't know what's wrong, he doesn't hiss, spit or growl but his tail swishes and goes thick, ears and head goes back and he jumps and attacks. She has read about some people suggesting getting another kitten but this is out of the question for us.
We've had cats all our lives but never one like Casper, we both absolutely love and adore him but nan is now frightened of him and in complete despair. Please can anybody give some advice on the reasons why he is so aggressive towards her and what to do to solve the problem? Thanks.
