I can't believe it! It's been almost 4 years since he last attacked me violently but out of the blue as I was walking into the bathroom I reached down to pet him and he attacked. It was just like he used to do when he was young. Thankfully he's a lot slower and weaker than years ago and I was able to pry his mouth from my hand and grab a blanket off the bed to throw on him. Right now he's cooling his jets in the garage.

Just prior to the attack I was giving him attention and petting him on the bed but he jumped down and Jazz came up so I was petting her. Guess his jealousy issues are not just with Rocky anymore.

I'm okay but my hand is scratched up and whelped from his teeth. He just barely broke the skin with a scratch from his tooth and I've cleaned it well with alcohol. I'll keep an eye on it but I've suffered worse from him before with no infection. I'm sure I'll be okay. Luckily I keep his claws trimmed so he did no damage where he locked onto my arm.

Good grief, I thought at 14 years old and in kidney failure he would have finally gotten over his rage.
