My cat is 2 and neutered he gets a lot of playtime with a cool down session and treat reward. He has 2 cat towers and several foraging toys as well as cat kickers.
He will approach my arm when I'm reading in bed
I try to move it but sometimes he gets me. I relax the arm wait until I can extract it safely and go into another room or ignore him after the behavior. I've tried saying ow or making a sound to get him to let go no dice.
I'm thinking either a. Play aggression and probably separated from mom too young (rescue) or b. redirected aggression, we are still working on cat intros.
Hes on kitty prozac I have the diffusers and calming treats is there anything else I can do to help get him out of this habit
He clamps his paws down in my arm hard, sort of gashes on my arm and bunny kicks. No swishy tail, no airplane ears, or growling. I also wasn't making eye contact or petting him when this happened.
