Hi there,
George just attacked my husband on the head...let me back up a bit...
george was scratching and going nuts in the window sill, he does this often if there is another cat, squirrel and kind of critter in his yard- we know to not touch him, as he will usually go after us- i guess to get his agression out- i know to just not suddenly move and when I can take my hand or whatever he is clamped on out of the way to just walk away- sometimes i blow on his face so he will let me go...
anyhow, he has attacked me once on the head for what seemed like no reason, he was at the screen ripping at it, I bend down just to look out the window, and pow! he attaked my face and head- and if it has ever happend to you --you know it hurs alot! Well, my husband just went through this- he is very angry with george, as he did not even touch george and yet george attacked him. I mention he did not even touch him, beacuse we do sometimes have I guess what you may call "rough" playtime- george can nip and bat and jump- and most times we are fine with it...
I guess what i want to know is how can we teach him that attackign us like this is not okay-should we place him in a room immediately afterwards kind of like a time out???
and jsut wanted to mention, that george is spayed, he just gets aggressive, he is young and we take it to be part of his personality...
any suggestions would be great!
thanks!
