Picture 072.jpgChances are ur touching kitty in a "no no "spot as i call it, I've personal raised over a 12 kittens this years and found they all had "places" on their body they rather u not touch for whatever reason, some luv belly rubs and others will shred ur hand if u try. Cats have very strong personalities, u really need to take some quiet time to learn what ur kitty likes and dislikes as affection, let the cat show u what they want scratched, just allow the cat to get the affection from u, trust me every cat does lol. Also be aware of how gentle or hard ur pet wants to be touched, maybe ur just being too loving lol. I am the happy owner of a special needs kitty, vet confirmed she was born with half her brain, literaly, so she has taugh me plenty about patience and understanding of a cat. But the laser pointer thing is a great idea, i have 2 on hand at all times, when she has a moment, which we all do i give her a mental brk and just let her be a cat :)

my cat does that. he's so affectionate but if you rub his neck too long he spins around and gets you. he requests the love then makes you pay. sometimes he uses claws and teeth, sometimes not. i'm pretty sure he's just being playful but my cat has separate aggression issues so i get nervous. he put me in the ER in jan and for the past few months i've been educating myself on ways to deal with him.

if i were you i would simply not bend down to pet the cat for a while. make eye contact and use your cutesy voice but only use your hand to let him smell you. DO NOT do the swat and cage deal. it will be completely ineffective and will only rile him. when he starts to act weird have a laser pointer or feather on a stick type toy handy to distract him and let him get it out of his system.

this has done wonders for my cat. up until 2 weeks ago i was NEVER without the laser pointer in my pocket. whenever he gets "that look" i just distract him with that and all is good. it also helps to exercise the cat half to death so they just want to flop over and sleep.

also, watch a few episodes of "my cat from hell" on animal planet. dude is like the cat whisperer. he points out all the things the owners are inadvertently doing to make the cat nutty. one of his big suggestions to everyone is to make sure the cat has easy access to high places because it makes the cat feel more secure. and the cats on that show are FUCKED UP.

I was sitting here complimenting my kitties about their good behavior and I pull out my favorite ear buds and the cord is chewed right thru.

Went to the bedroom and the set on the nightstand is chewed too. So much for having good kitties.

Wish you good luck on finding a way to work with yours.

I think you're either misinterpreting what "purring" means for that cat, (not always the same) if I had to guess.

Really, I've laid down more than enough constructive info in this thread, I'll bow out now. Good luck.

OK well on that note, considering I don't have down syndrome I'm pretty sure I can interpret a growl of disapproval and a purr from a cat of pleasure and likeness, stop acting like a smart-ass.
It's not like I haven't had 6 cats before this one, It's just this cats' behavior is abnormal compared to those of others and I was not sure of a better way to approach the situation.

the cat could have other mental issues. seriously mine is on meds because he will tear thru the house for hours on end. he cries, he scratches on the floor and furniture. he is 10 months old and neutered. our vet is a close friend and put him on elavil and it has done wonders. we are anti-drugs all the way around but he needs them and it makes his life better. good luck :peace:

Maybe you should have mentioned your six other cats before this one somewhere in the original post. Then I might not have assumed you are the ignorant cat owner that you've made yourself out to be. Have a nice day.

Some cats do that, the guy that fixes my car has one that does the exact thing.
P.S. I am father to 7 cats...think that qualifies me.

OR! Maybe, you can get off your high horse and stop acting like a dick-head. Because whether or not you ARE a complete genius, not everyone around you and in the world are missing 50% of their brain. So just stop acting like that is the case. Cock-Sandwich!

Good god, the cat caught me again today, the guy had to work on my car, and cat comes to welcome me at car all friendly, then proceeded to gash my whole finger open.
