I adopted a kitten a few years ago. She was a stray and about 5 months old. She's 3 now. She's an indoor cat. She does not have actual contact with any other cats. If she sees a cat while looking out the window she becomes upset. She meows alot. She'll walk over to me and bite me hard. Goes back to the window. Meows more. Is obsessed with the cat outside. At best sometimes I can get her to give her misplaced agression to a toy and she'll go after that. But lots of times, if I don't realize what is going on right away, she'll get me. And I yell and I've got a bleeping puncture wound to deal with that I know will hurt like crazy the next day. I keep my apartment filled with Feliway which she likes. But it is not a cure all. A cat outside will still upset her and I might be the object she takes it out on. What can I do? My impression is that dicipline on a cat won't work. I never swat her or anything. I just try to remove myself or divert her attention. Can she be trained to not bite me? We've got many years ahead of us together.
