Serious behavior problem with Butter

[Logan]

I really need some one on one help from someone who has dealt with an unpredictable and aggressive cat. This is not about his behavior with me, which is good most of the time, and not so good at other times as you all know. This has to do with what he has started doing to Mimi and I am frankly quite scared about it. He could kill her if he wanted to. We know of two incidents so far where he literally "jumped" her, the second much worse than the first, and that one happened yesterday. Why in the world, after over 4 years of living with us, is he doing this? Does he detect a weakness in her that was not there before? She is old and she is slowing down............. Sallyanne, this reminds me so much of what you dealt with when you had Ti. I understand that situation even better now that I am dealing with it, too.

I have already consulted with my vet, today, as a matter of fact. I had Butter in because he has once again torn up his legs. I'll go through what Dr. Robinson had to say if one or more of you would be willing to talk me through this.

I want to talk with someone on the phone. If you think you can offer me some advice and wouldn't mind spending some time discussing this with me, please, please, please send me a PM with your phone number. I can call during the day or at night. I just need to do something soon and my options are very limited.

I am very upset about this, as is my husband. Right now, we are forcing one to be outside when the other is inside. I don't know what else to do, but long term, this is not a viable solution.

I'm sorry to make this private plea in such a public way, but I didn't know what else to do. Please send a good thought that Mimi will be safe and that I will find a way to deal with this boy, please.
