I was wondering if anyone knows of a pet behaviour specialist in Roma?!
I have a cat called Ciro hes 1 yr old im having a bit of trouble with him.
He keeps attackig me and being aggressive towards me but does nothing to my partner! Several times he has attacked me when i was sitting down leaping onto my back and sinking his teeth into the back of my neck. We punish him when he does this tell him off and shut him in the kitchen but im getting worried hes starting to think its some kind of game. I have scratches and teeth marked on me now all the time.
He is still affectionate licking me and having a cuddle and being normal but then he will just suddenly change during the day or will just suddenly turn and sink his teeth into my arm after a cuddle. I make a sound of pain but he tenses and bites harder before running away from me when i try to get him off me.
Does anyone know if theres anything i can do to stop this behaviour? is he angry with me for some reason and taking out on me? i dont understand him. He's a Flat cat doesnt go out as we are on the 6th floor.
Now my brother has come to visit us for the first time and he has been stroking and fussing Ciro all evening last night and this afternoon. Ciro was enjoying the cuddles purring away and even going back for more and sitting on his lap. Then suddenly later on after a cuddle he moved away from my brother then suddenly just turned around and attacked him. He jumped onto my brother chest and went for his face with claws out then ran away. My brother was in shock and has a large bleeding scratch on his neck and one on his ear that won't stop bleeding now.
I had told my brother several times to be careful with the cat but they had been getting on so well and Ciro was happy and being affectionate so i cant understand the sudden change in him it doesnt make sense.
My partner was not please and locked Ciro in the kitchen and has said hes not allowed out until the morning he has said we cant have a baby with a cat like this (we are thinking of trying for a baby at some point) hes worried Ciro would attack it.
So now i really dont know how to stop Ciro from being aggressive and stop being bad
