Feline frenzy
Posted by benjay on May 18, 2007
We have a slight problem with our cat. Some people have guard dogs – we have an attack cat.
Vijay, our adorable 2-year-old DSH, has developed this habit of attacking guests to our house. For the first 18 months, he was more than happy to sleep or play in their company but now – almost on sight - his whole nature changes. He hisses, swipes, and when he gets the chance, separates the guest/s from the rest of the party and launches a full scale attack. The second the guests have left our unit, he’s back to normal.
We’ve changed his diet slightly, from red meat at night to chicken and fish and it seems to have made a slight difference – but just when you think he’s OK, he’ll take a chunk of skin out of a guest.
Short of drugging him when we have guests – which is something we really don’t want to do – our only option is to lock him up with his toys and food in the laundry.
Does anyone out there have any ideas?
