My new cat keeps attacking

Hi this is CC (Cumulus Cloud) I adopted her almost 3 months ago and she keeps attacking me.

I will be playing with her-and I don’t use my hands to play with her, I use wand toys mainly- and she’ll randomly jump and start going at it on my arm. I don’t pet her as the first time I tried she attacked me :( I don’t really approach her but sometimes she’ll walk up to me and just be angry for no reason. When she went to her first vet appointment she was healthy and fine and she is spayed.

I took her again to get her nails clipped since obviously I can’t do it myself and to get claw caps put on, but they weren’t able to do so she still has her nails.

I don’t know what to do she’s only getting worse and I try to just be calm around her but i’m getting scared of her. I can still play with her for a few minutes and she has independent toys but all our interactions end with her scratching or biting me and I don’t know what i’m doing wrong. I don’t approach her on my own at all I just wait till she comes to be me. Sometimes she’ll literally walk out from where she is to walk by me and hiss???

I try to get her to like me with treats but she’ll grab them and run off and she won’t even eat around me. I’d say she’s scared of me but she’s the one approaching me 99% of the time. I’ve tried churus but she won’t eat them.

How do I get her to stop attacking me? I don’t think I can keep her if this issues persists. She is spayed and I have a feilway. She’s an adult cat and was in the shelter for about a year before I adopted her they said she is shy but nothing about being aggressive and that she warms up to people but she hasn’t yet. I really don’t know how much longer I can deal with this, it just sucks

my healthy cat won’t use the litter box

Hi. I really don’t know what to do . I have never considered giving my cat away ever, but after a vet check up, X-ray, urinalysis and bloodwork that cost almost 5K i can’t think of any solution but rehoming. But my cat just won’t use the litter box. He will only pee on my bedsheets…if they are on my bed. I’ve used open litter boxes, closed liter boxes, both at the same time. 3 litter boxes at at once. Over the past year i’ve tried pine, paper, corn, wheat, tofu, clumping, cat attract, literally everything. He pees on only my bed and my clothes it’s been a year and i’m going to be moving in my my two friends for my sophomore year. My one friends has a normal cat with no issues bonus I can’t sort it by then I will have to look for a new home has anyone dealt with this? Fixed cat no other health issues sorry for typos i did not spell check.
