I've had over 50 unfixed cats come through my yard, since moving here, but I'd never seen this guy before he ended up in a trap I unloaded last night and left out, inadvertently, still set from trapping down town.
And caught this guy, whose attitude is very very sour.
He hisses, growls, strikes at me and I ignore him and pass him in food, which he gobbles as he growls. I talk baby talk to him and sprinkle catnip.
Sweet Mad Max, a gracious kitty caught at the down town colony, is now growling too, but he wasn't before I moved Ghandi up next to him. I hope naming him Mr. Really Bad Attitude---Ghandi, will help turn him peaceful, but I doubt it.
But neutering him might.
A little Benadryl might help until he's neutered.

DeleteOh the difference. I suspect most human males would tell you that neutering them would make their attitude get worse...
ReplyDeleteSomedays I have my doubts.
Some attitudes are just born into a cat or person, but some, are hormone propelled. Let's hope he is of the latter ilk and soon will be attending peace rallies.
