Hi,

I also have a "problem child", named Jonny Cat. One of our clients found him and brought him to us when he was about 4 weeks old. I was looking for a kitten at the time so I adopted Jonny. He has always been odd, doesn't know how to be social with other cats and has had a hard time bonding to me. He also becomes suddenly aggressive with no warning and tends to be very nervous. Evem the rain freaks him out and I didn't see him for hours after we had an earthquake last week.

He doesn't seem to know what to do if another cat looks at him. I think he often sees this as a threat. Interestingly enough Jonny gets along best with my 2 blind cats who cannot look at him.

I let Jonny Cat come to me on his own when he wants attention and let him try to interact with the other cats. Occasionally I have to break up a fight between him and another cat, or stop him from chasing one of the senior kitties. For the most part, he keeps to himself. He seems to like evenings best, when all is quiet, and I often wake up to him licking my face or butting my head with his. His very favorite toy is one of those laser mice, which us a safe toy to use with aggressive cats.
