I got a cat a few years ago when he was 6 months old, and since about the 6 month mark of having him, he’s been scratching and attacking us. Not in a playful way, but in an aggressive way, to the point where my mom has completely stopped playing with him, and thinks not feeding him what he wants for a day or two will help. The problem is though, we’re done this before. We started ignoring him, but the moment we go back to normal, he feels the need to attack someone. It’s like he knows it’s wrong, but just can’t stop himself from it. We don’t know why he does it. It’s just random, and it’s gotten so bad we’re afraid to invite guests over. Does anyone know what can help?
