I hesitated to write this question , but I am dumfounded here. Last year someone gave me a 6 yr. old male cat who has been neutered. But he also had something done to him that I would never do but he came to me that way. He had his front feet declawed. Now I have had no experience with a male cat or a declawed one. The problem is-- he bites HARD! I can only brush his head and tale and have to sneak to brush the rest of him(he is a Maine Coon Mix). I can't even pick him up. The vet told me that some declawed cats have two main defense mechanisms-the teeth and the claws, so if one is taken away, then they use the other, but I never even yell at him and like I said, I can't hold him.
Could he have been abused when he was younger? Is this something I have to put up with? I can't even take him to the vet cause I can't touch the little varmit LOL.
Help!! I love him but I am unsure what to do.
Thanx
