Richard, reading this made me think. Has he ever acted out like this before? Just curious, because if this behavior is very out of the ordinary, you may want to keep your eye on him for a few days. How old is Eddie? It almost sounds like a bit of overstimulation aggression, or perhaps even play aggression. That would have freaked me out too!
He does that every once in a while......I think I hit his "G Spot"

(Gee-I-Don't-Like-That Spot)...He didn't go postal or anything like that...He did give me a first good swipe on the forearm and the other stuff was pretty benign.

Ed is five.....he does get rambunctious when the weather gets cooler, last night after the 'attack' we kissed, made up and went to my mom's house. He went after a spool of thread she had, He batted it around for a few minutes and settled down. He never plays with thread or toys so I realized that it's that time of the year.

As much as I would like to get another cat, the situation with the Edster is very strange. He gets along with dogs better than he gets along with cats.....My mom has two dogs that he is very well
acquainted with.I have tried to get him used to another cat and he freaks out.

The main disadvantages for taking another animal are many but the main ones are-

My house has a studio style layout. One giant room, kitchen and BR...not alot of room at the moment!!

That and the fact that my mom is my landlord makes a difference. I'd have tons of animals but I realize should I leave the current arrangement I'd have to find a place that would accept them.

I once had a Lhasa and a Terrier and had to move from the house I was at. I promised myself that I would never go thru that again-choosing between pets.....which to keep and which re-home. I did move back in with my parents......that was a relief!
But the emotional worry about where to go and such is way too stressful.

Ed does want to know it Penny is 'available' for some e mail exchange.
