Since this incadent Ive learned more about cat behavior and why he bites and gets these weird spells. And that by trying to calm hhim I only made it worse. BUT, the aggresion he showed was very scary. Any advise anyone could give would be GREAT! I was all set to bring him back to the shelter (which would keep him until a home was found) but I want to do what I can first. I have had him for 3 months, he is 4 years old.
below is what happened:
I walked passed him and he meowed for my attention. I sat down next to him on the floor and was petting him (on his head), he was happy and purring when suddenly he bit me. I gave him a light tap and he brought his ears back and looked surprised. I tried calming him down in a soothing voice and petting him. As I tried to walk away he jumped up off the floor all 4 legs out to get me. I pushed him away before he got me too bad. I wanted to make sure he was ok so didnâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]t even show that I was angry, he kept walk AT ME. I back a way a few times. Tried petting him and finally I walked way into my bedroom. He followed mw at again lunged up and got me in the face. I left the room and closed him in there for about 45 minutes. Oh, and also at no point was the cat corned, the first time he attacked he was right near a hallway. And The 2nd time he had his back to the door.
After he was nervous but all has been ok since then
