I posted a thread a few days back, where I inquired about my cat's new fearful and aggressive behavior. He would rub up against me all sweet, but then all of a sudden, back off and start crying and growling with his ears flattened against his head, as if in preparation to attack.
A friend of mine suggested that maybe it's his mating instincts kicking in, despite the fact that he's neutered. She had a cat that had been spayed, but would go through a mock heat every mating season. Could Noki (11 mo. old male) be going through the same thing?
This has been going on for a week now, and today he actually pounced on my back, totally freaking me out. This happens to me only, whenever my husband isn't home. Is he singling me out because I'm female?? It's gotten to the point where I'm a little afraid of my cat whenever I'm home alone. Any suggestions to how I can handle this? I've been trying to keep a water bottle by my side ever since. A good shake seems to be enough to scare him off.
