Wow great pictures. These are the first I've seen of your group since I joined. I want to see more.

Ewok is just plain adorable.

All of your cats are gorgeous. I really like Ewok because he reminds me of my Storm.

And with the way he's growing he will for sure weigh as much as him! This cat is huge. I really cannot believe how big he is. He already has a big pudge on his belly too, and you can see that he would be the type of cat to get fat really quick. However we cannot put him on a diet because he's still a kitten and still needs all those extra calories.

And Ewok may look like a sweet kitty but in real life he's very agressive. You can barely touch him without literally attacking you, and not playing either. He bites and draws blood. We are still unsure as to what we are going to do with him. Perhaps he wants to live in a single cat household?

He really hates us, everyone but Dylan. I may call in a behaviorist to work with him. I don't understand why he is this why specially since he was bottle raised by me from the time he was two weeks old!

Neutering didn't help one bit. He still attacks the other cats and never leaves them alone. He has to stay cooped up in the room just so the other cats can have a little peace and quiet. I am really torn with this one, I really am.

But then there are the times when he is sweet, usually in the morning and he will come to us in bed and start licking and purring. But it doesn't last long. If you try to pet him he will bite and scratch you. So rehoming him may be an option for us. I really do not know what to do. I want him to stay here, and I thought we would be able to do that. At first we were going to place him just like all the other babies I take care of, but he grew on me. How could he not? I mean, I am his mommy.

I just don't understand why he hates people and terrorizes the other cats. It's really taken a toll on the other cats. Cheetah won't go anywhere near him and if he gets close to her it looks like she's going to have a heart attack.

Yep, they are spoiled! Mystic and Cheetah are total lovebugs. They are brother and sister but from two seperate litters and Houdini is their mother. Even though they are from two seperate litters they are attached at the hip. They go everywhere together. They are addicted to eachother. If one cat goes to eat the other one goes just to be by the other. They really crack me up. Silly kitties!

Houdini absolutely loves straws! You have to be careful though because she will attack your straw and steal it out of your cup! She's spilt soda so many times already lol. One time, it was so close because we had a drink up on the computer and she also spilt it.

But we caught her in time.

When did you have him neutered? It can take many months before you see a result. With Ripley it took about 7 months before he calmed down. In fact, he was so wild that my vet wanted to put him on female hormones to help speed up the neutering effects but I resisted. Talk to your vet, there may be more that can be done to help Ewok before you have to resort to rehoming him. Also, the behavioralist may help too. Good luck and please keep us updated. He is so cute, I hope it all works out for you guys.

Well I am deffanetly not giving up hope yet. He's still my baby!

I know it takes awhile for the neutering to kick in. It has been about two months now. But he's really agressive to the point where he has broken the skin. If you try to pet him he starts scratching you. But other times he's just terrific!

I have decided to put some of his "energy" into training. I have started using a clicker to get him to sit up, stay, sit etc. as he is very food motivated and I thought maybe if I give him a little extra something to do it might help. When the other cats are outside he's a wild child in here lol. He really cracks me up sometimes. I just want a cat I can pet without having to worry about getting attacked, you know?

I thought that maybe a home with another younger cat would make him happy? He's got enough energy for a dog! What my concern is, is that if he doesn't calm down and we need to place him, it's going to be so much harder when he's not a kitten anymore.

But I really want someone to come in here and let us know what they think is going on. You can see that he has the potential to be a loving kitty. So no I am not giving up hope. Placing him is the last thing I would do. I love my babies more than anything, and since I took him in it is my responsibility to care for him. But I also have to keep in mind how my other cats are reacting, and is it fair to them? There is much to think about!
