I know you love him, how do you react when he misbehaves now? Have you tried spritzing him with water when he does that? Is there any way you could just, for example, shut him in the bedroom when company is coming over? He may just view visitors as stress, and is acting out.

First and foremost, I'd get him checked by the vet, to make certain there's no sudden underlying medical reason for his change in behavior. I know I get cranky when I'm in pain ...

Once you have ruled that out, then you can work on behavior modification.

Hi I'm tracey, I have six cats and they are all declawed and fixed. They came thru the surgery just fine. Bambi was ready to play when he came home. He even started bleeding where they fixed him. I was scared and I called my vet and told them what happened, they told me to quit playing with him. So I did and he quit bleeding. But all of them were fine. After a few days they acted like nothing even happened to them. I don't think I gave them a pain pill. Besides when their that young they bouce back pretty quick. So hope to hear from you, Tracey
