Sending lots of good vibes to you and Wonton
Crystal was also at the vet today and got bloodtest...the waiting is hardest.
Not at all - the first couple years we had him, he had no aggression whatsoever-was just simply a big love bug. And still is - it's just that now he's really jumpy, and any loud noise or sudden movement seems to set him off. for instance, the other day i tripped and fell - and he attacked me. He's about four years old, and he's fixed. He just seems to get scared easily, and then once he's scared, he reacts by being aggressive. He's not really been a play - biter. He does it with my bf a bit because my bf used his hands as a toy even tho i told him not to, but i never once used my hands as a toy with him, and so he hardly ever bites me when I'm petting him.Originally Posted by sarahp
Has he always been a bit aggressive, or is this a recent thing? How old is he?
Thanks, I've seen those before but never really looked into them - will do so now.Originally Posted by Kaleetha
Good vibes for you and Wonton... I hope it turns out to be something easily cured/fixed.
If the blood tests don't turn up anything... check these people out... it's expensive... but probably not too much more than Prozac.

Awww, that's a great storyOriginally Posted by catsknowme
Sending more {{{calming prayers and vibes}}} to Wonton (oh, I just LOVE that name). By the way, you might check out the book "CAT CONFIDENTIAL, The Book Your Cat Would Want You to Read" by British cat behaviorist, Vicky Halls. Chapter 3 has some excellent viewpoints on The Aggressive Cat
My Miss Tobie (now over RB) was aggressive - I got her from the shelter where the police brought her when they rescued Miss Tobie's former owner & her 2 young children from a particularly violent episode of abuse by the husband/father. Miss Tobie was declawed, and very aggressive to certain people (she was declawed in the front, so was prone to bite). She started out as an office cat, but began being too aggressive to certain men; I brought her home, and sometimes she would lash out at meIt all ended when my hubby & I were laying in bed watching TV, and Miss Tobie was between us, calm. My grandson had just come in (he was 6yo at the time) and got on my other side. Suddenly, Miss Tobie sat up & bit my arm! Before I could finish my loud sqawk, my grandson cuddled up to her, gave her a hug and said, "You don't have to bite anymore, Miss Tobie. This is a real family now with a real house for you to live in, not an office" and the cat promptly lay back down, began purring and was never aggressive to people againWho knows why it worked, but it did and were we ever so happy!
So, Wonton, I hope that you find the answers so that you too can relax and just enjoy the love that you've found
AWW, I was HOPING that you'd get an answer alreadyOriginally Posted by arcadian girl
sort of a non-update udate: the vet didn't call with the blood test results today, so that means I'll have to wait til monday... *sigh* I'd really hoped he'd call today, so I wouldn't have to wonder and worry all weekend. Oh well.. the good news is that *knock on wood* Wonton's been doing good the last couple days - no aggression, on the contrary, he's been being his old lapcat self.
