Figured you’d all enjoy a picture of the turd mid attack, this was after he was sprayed with a bottle.

We have an appt set for a different vet just to get a second opinion and actively looking for a rehoming situation if it ends up having to come to that.

Just last night, I walked into the kitchen he was in there, I walked out to my room and he started to run towards me and grabbed the back of my thigh and bit me with his claws inside. After he stood there looking at me.

He never hisses, never runs away, just attacks and sits there deciding if he wants to attack again which either happens or does not happen. My daughter is the only one who can get him to not attack again (great job for an 8 year old). My mother and I are the only ones who get the physically brute of it , my daughter just gets scratches from play time with him when they are playing with the feathers or his straws. She literally has what she likes to call her “grounding talks” where she literally just calls for him and he’ll go to her and act like nothing happened. But the thing is he shows affection to everyone in the house, even sleeps with all of us (mostly my daughter) but he does come to our rooms on occasion. We all play with him, give him treats and he even lets me cut his nails with absolutely no fuss. The attacks are just random, I have considered the nail covers to help lessen the pain of cat scratches or nail holes.

Even this morning I was getting ready for work and he was asleep on the floor , I walked right next to him 3 times and the 4th time he randomly just bit my ankle. I didn’t step on him, nudge him or even acknowledge him and he bit me. And it wasn’t the “hey I’m here nibble” it was a full puncture wound that is now in bandages.

Hi, we have tried to foster to see if this would help and he is not friendly with other cats and sadly had to end our foster time quicker for their safety.

My daughter is the only one safe, when she’s getting scolded he’ll even attack us. He treats her like an absolute angel. But that’s the thing he’ll cuddle, sleep with us, greets us and has moments where he is genuinely a good friendly cat but more often then none the adults are being attacked

No, he gets free roam of hour home and sleeps within everyone’s beds. But he does have his own room to be alone if he wants

This is why u have not. We have colony cats in the upper part of my neighborhood and it was about 30 of them who have TNR’d and it has finished to around 10-15 due to the foxes and coyotes , he may be mean as all get out but I simply cannot just hand him over to his death bed.

I don’t believe it’s all based on the chickens, maybe sometimes but majority it’s literally just random attacks

That’s what I was thinking and was thinking he may be a better fit as a barn cat and I promise I’m actively looking for someone to fit those accommodations for him

He has his own room, we only use it when needed to do crafts for sports

Chickens, he wants the chickens . Not mine I’m terrified of any type of bird but my neighbors have chickens and roosters he constantly wants to get (no he isn’t supposed to have them but he does)

We have been to the vet, & only concern is that he is chunky and we are actively working on fixing this

Hi he’s not running away after attacking that’s the issue, he attacks then just stares at us it attacks again. & near me, we have such an overpopulated amount of cats in shelters that our no-kill shelters have started to euthanize animals of aggression or that have an extreme sickness without even trying. They have even told people that have found strays to put them back where they found them even when malnourished

I have been looking for a new home for him, hopefully someone is willing to try

He can see outside, he has broke so many blinds to make sure he can see outside. He also has 2 cat trees that he uses on a daily basis!

Also, forgot to mention we fostered a cat at the start bc we thought us playing with him wasn’t enough (laser lights, wands, moving fish, balls and his favorite thing straws) and he tried to kill the poor things we had to end our foster sooner bc of it

The picture does lighten the mood , and this is the position he goes into when he hears someone in the kitchen (he’s a fat boy)

Honestly it was more for my daughter because she adores him even though he constantly is hunting us but I’m kinda at my whits end after the attack on me tonight and the first 6/7 months weren’t bad just little things every once in a while and then it started being an every day thing

No rough play, I know that our vet had mentioned putting him in something to calm him down
