I'm asking a question about my 3yo nautered male cat Kassu.
I adopted him when he was around one year old and in his previous home he lived with three dogs, I don't have he had any cat company before. All this time he's been very anxious and nervous cat: in the beginning he was really scared when people walk towards him (just a normal walking around house), it seemed like he was totally terrified. He's better now, but still at times might get super scared of loud noises etc. He's always been very loving towards people, loves pets and like to sleep on my lap.
Why I'm worried is, that sometimes he might suddenly attack other cats. Today I was reading on my bed, and Kassu, Onni (7mo neutered male) and Ruska (4mo female) were hanging on the bed with me. They all seemed enjoying themselves, and Kassu was washing Onni, when totally out of nowhere he got really triggered, bite Onni's ear and head, hissed at home and then just run away. Kassu is probably a bit introverted and Onni is actually the only cat he gets along really well. Kassu also doesn't have too good social skills, sometimes he annoys other cats with staring, sniffing too much or other ways breaking their boundaries. He saw a vet couple of months ago, and doesn't have any health issues. I give him special attention quite often, and he seems quite happy cat, besides the wierd aggressive behaviour and anxiousness.
So do you have any ideas what might be wrong, and how to improve? Is it possible that he's been taken too early from his mom, and he haven't learn proper ways to communicate with other cats? Just a 10 minutes after the accident, Onni and Kassu are both laying on my lap and they both seem fine, not scared or irritated or anything. I'm a bit worried since I've never seen such a behavior, my other cats get along nicely and they are not nervous or scared of normal things. Thanks!
