I don't see where the OP said kitty is declawed. I asked if he is, but they did not answer or reply to anyone, actually. I asked because these are common behaviors in a declawed cat.
Some people seem to think that cats "owe" them something especially if they rescue them. Poor kitty. |

The territorial behaviors are normal, expected behavior, especially for a cat that was feral, even for a fairly brief period of time. Their mamas imprint on them the idea that other animals are a danger and should not be tolerated in their territory. I don't know if he will ever stop acting that way around other animals, but the only solution right now is to not permit other animals in the house. It is stressing the daylights out of the cat; his behavior shows that.

I'm pretty sure those are tags added by the forum. Check out some other threads you'll see the same type of thing.
However, I would not be at all surprised to find out this kitten had his toes amputated. These are very common problems for declawed cats, and why so many end up dumped. In spite of what the Veterinary Associations would have us believe. |
