I need some help from some of you cat experts....My best friend has a male cat named Flash....a long-haired black and white ~2 yr old neutered cat. An only cat.
The past month or so she has had some trouble with him. First, he started peeing outside of the litter box, all around the house. This was accompanied by some aggressive behavior towards her, hissing, biting and scratching. She took him to the vet and the vet put him on antibiotics in case of bladder infection, urinary tract infection, etc, I'm assuming. They couldn't get a urine sample I guess? So per Cheryl, my friend, the vet put him on meds.
Well, his aggressive behavior seems to be increasing. He attacks her when she walks around the house, jumping out at her. Hissing, ears flat, tail flapping when she even walks in the room. The other day,she said he was on the counter and he leaped onto her and bite her and she noticed drops of urine on the countertop.....I haven't been able to be much help to her because my knowledge of cat behavior is very limited. I thought maybe he was in pain...He's young, has all his shots, is a healthy weight and sustaining it during this time, appetite remains the same. I didn't ask about his water intake? He is an indoor cat, never goes outside unsupervised, if at all.
Any ideas? Or any websites I can check? I checked one, vetinfo.com and it wasn't very helpful....
She is at her wits end! They were very close and she says now they get in a "fight" every morning and evening!
Thanks!!!
