I have a calico that I took in about 5 years ago. She would bite when something was dropped or someone was yelling. I was in the fridge one day, dropped a can of coke and was bitten in the back of my leg hard. Over time this had gotten better but now it's starting up again. The other day I was sitting at the computer and she came up and bit at my leg. I can't stop her, she will continue to try until she has "got me" then she goes on her merry way while I'm left nervous. She never does this to my daughter, only me. I'm the one that feeds her and sets up her numerous perches for her, but my daughter is her main person. I could see if I was mean to her, but that's not the case. She was already declawed when we got her which I think causes her to use biting over scratching. We used to have two cats but lost one last year. Is she bored? Am I the substitute cat? I would get another cat to keep her company, but with her current disposition that would be cruel to the new one. Sorry this is so long. What I am asking really is what to do when she attacks, and what can I do to keep her from doing this?
p.s. Vet figured she was about three years old when we found her. Who knows what happened to her in those three years!
