My boyfriend and I have three cats, two live at my apartment and one lives at his house. Buddy, Tony's cat, was given to him on his last birthday by me after we lost our 21-year-old cat to kidney failure.
Well, Buddy is turning into a very agressive cat. He has been fixed, so it's ot that, it's just that he can be, well, vicious at times. Last night, when I wouldn't give him some of my ham, he leapt at me and actually clawed me from behind!
As if this wasn't enough, Tony rescued a real cute little girl kitty from the Humane Society today. She had a micro chip and they called her owners three times, but they never called back. My boyfriend fell in love with her, she's a greyish tabby that is a total love bug! But here's the problem. Buddy attacked her when they were introduced. He didn't hiss and start a fight, he ATTACKED her! He even attacked Tony when he tried to break them up. Now she is in one of the bathrooms and seems content, so I'm not worried about her, I concerned about Buddy's attitude. We love him dearly and want to make this work, but this is the worst case of cat aggression I have ever witnessed. We need to get Buddy settled down, but the question is, how? Tony said he is going to talk to his vet, but I respect the people here and so I am asking, "Does anyone have any ideas on how to settle this overly aggressive cat down?"
