Hello



Recently I adopted a recently nutered 3 year old tom cat from the shelter. I guess the shelter found this cat as a stray.



Ok



I adopted this cat thursday is the day he came home.



Yesderday he was sitting on my lap purring away and I had to go to work so i gently took him offf my lap and got up well I guess he didnt like that so he grabbed onto my leg and tried to bite me, I was lucky enough to get away unhurt that time he got my pants and not me.



Then just after that he got out of the room hes staying in snuck out well i went caught him picked him up (ALWAYS GENTLE) put him back in his room well this time he JUMPED Up at me tried to bite me and clawed me up pretty bad.



ANd then NOW TODAY he got out of his room again & I picked him up to put him back he was fine until i put him on the ground well then he let out a howl and JUMPEd up at me attacked my shoulder this time he really nailed me good he PUnctured my skin with his teeh and clawed up my arm so bad. My arm is KILLIng me right now the parmacist told me to watch it and keep putting hydrogene peroxide & if it gets worse I should go to the emergency.



I called the shelter and they are going to take the cat back monday. Right now he is lounging around in his room purring like NOTHING even happened! EVEN 5 mins after he bit me he started to roll around like nothing happened! GOd i feel like total crap I even bought some FELIWAY today and plugged it in his room well it for sure did not help his temper issue.



I dont think the shelter is going to re adopt him out because i had to be honest with what happened & i dont live alone I live with my mother who is an ex cancer patient if he were to do what he did to me to her i dont even want to think about it. God i am so depressed.
