I am the owner of Paul, an almost 3 year old cat (as well as a 10 years cat and 12 year old dog). I rescued him from the wild and i have had him since he was just a few months old. Although he was never the friendliest cat, he was never agressive toward humans or other animals(except for mice and moles.) I switched houses last year(to a home without pets) and Paul began to have times when he would become VERY aggressive towards me and would attack my legs and arms until i shut him out of the room. He would go into these spurts of anger seemingly out of nowhere. I just kind of put up with spurts for a while. Then, i moved back to the previous home i was in (with the other cat and dog) and Paul seemed to be MUCH happier. In fact, he didn't try to attack me AT ALL for almost 4 months. Now, he has begun to have his aggressive spurts again. When he does have these spurts, they are never at the other pets or the other person that i live with. I am the ONLY one that he attacks like this. I have looked at everything i can on the internet and i can't find anything relating to this. I have found several things about "playful scratching" but believe me when i say this is NOT playful!!! He definetly wants to really hurt me when he gets into these moods. The weird thing is that he can me super lovable and then just SNAP. Its usually in the mornings when i'm trying to get ready to go to work. I had wondered if it had to do with that and him
