    Nuisense CAt

    Not the Maine Coon. This cat...the 'Psycho Cat'.

    It wandered up one day, abandoned I guess but probably with good reason. Seemed OK at first, for about five minutes, then started acting 'weird'. My wife was petting it and without provocation it attacked her hand. I know, I didn't think that sounded right either. Later I was standing on the deck with a cup of coffee, not paying any attention to this cat and it seriously attacked my foot. Its been Scizophrenic since its been here.

    Changes in a heartbeat for no apparent reason. I can even pet it and it almost acts normal then it goes off the deep end.

    It belonged to somebody at one time or another, it acts like a pet when the 'mood' is right. The Maine Coon and another tabby cat (not MC) we have don't like this one. The MC is a big baby and hides from it, the tabby will stalk it and takes swipes at it when ever she can.


    We tried to catch it and take it to the vet to see if it was alright but as you might imagine that was an unsuccessful ordeal.

    It has taken up residence and does not seem inclined to move on. Neighbors have had incidents with it also. We called the animal services and they said we had to cage it before they would come out. Hmmmm? What is it they do?

    Wow, I take it this cat has choosen you for some reason ! Is it a Siamese ? It looks so cute to, just goes to show looks can be deceiving ! Maybe your own cats sense something wrong and it looks like a nice cat so maybe its behaviour is why its owners are not sorry to see it go. I have a hard time writing an animal of but I also know that some cannot be rehabilitated. Because you really cant get 'close' then the problem could be medical, or maybe just mental. I hope that you resolve matters soon. Sorry being in scotland we have the SSPCA (Scottish Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals) in my opinion the Animal services you have sound just as usless as them !

    The cat does look like a Siamese, but if it has been living on its own it is probably become feral. It wants to trust but it is scared. I don't know if there is a lot you can do when they become wild like that. Here in the states they take them and spay them and release them. I do not think this is the best solution but it keeps them from breeding and having more unwanted kittens.

    Yes, it is Siamese, or a mix, doesn't 'Yowl' like a Saimese though. Sometimes it seems a very loving cat. Then...watch out. I don't want to harm the cat, and as long as it stays away from me, it can stay and we'll feed it. Until the time I think it is a 'real' danger, if it hurts the wife or gran'. Then I might have to take action myself. Wouldn't want to if I could avoid it.

    If it gets to the point I need to take action I fear it will be terminal.
    Don't want to offend anyone but if need be I will eliminate the problem.

    I know exactly how you feel - I put up with Neevie's crazies because she's my cat, but sometimes.... I don't like her. :-(
    Yesterday, she jumped on my head. I don't know why, I guess I have something shiny in my hair that she wanted to grab. Result: one more scar on my arm where she planted her hooks for purchase, and one very naughty cat in time out.
    This morning, my feet were under the table which apparently she did not like, so she grabbed my legs like it was a piece of chicken trying to run away and bit into it. She went on time out.
    If she wasn't my cat, I'd probably give up on her. I don't know what it is with her....
    My previous cat, the much lamented Charlotte, was such a sweetheart, always ready for a good cuddle, she left a HUGE void when she passed, and we got this monster to try to fill up the void. Well... it's filled alright...

    Ask them to lend you a cat catching cage {CPL loan them out locally around here plus RSPCA have also sometimes come up with one} & get the cat caught up before it hurts someone,if you wait until it has done damage you will have to get it caught anyway so might as well sort it now & perhaps the cat will have a chance to be sorted out but sounds as if it would need a one to one relationship to give it any hope at all bless it,sometimes it is better the other option but.....x

    Alekto,
    I sometime use a spray bottle filled with water as a deterrent. Although I don't even like to spray water on Miss Ginger! I am such a softie when it comes to her <3 My cat Buster hated to be sprayed and learned quickly whereas Sheena aka Princess Pokey Toes, was so defiant she would get soaked and not care! haha love them MCs

    oh yes I did that too Donna, she doesn't like it, but it seems to make her more angry and defiant, as she sees where the water is coming from.
    We've called a truce for now, so we had a cuddle...

    LOL yes, well... she hates being sprayed with water. For the rest, I left a bit of water in the bathtub with a bottlecap floating in it, earlier this week - next thing I saw was the Pirate trotting accross the living room, feet all wet, with the bottlecap in her mouth... Water ain't stoppin this Pirate, no Ma'am!... Arrr!
