We knew soon
after we brought him home that this kitty was a mean one!
When he was a kitten, he would decide play at 3 am and
attack us in our sleep. Then at 5 am he would bother us to
feed him.As an adult he has retained his unique
personality. He hates almost everyone except me and my
boyfriend. When we have visitors, he hisses and tries to
scratch them or hides and sulks. He used to love to scare my
former housecleaner, he would hide in the clothes hamper and
jump out when she walked by. Not surprisingly, everyone
fears him. I tried to find someone to watch him when we went
on vacation and there were no takers. If he comes near my
best friend, she freaks out and asks me to take him away.
Once my boyfriend's parents came over for lunch and his mom
was sitting on a chair he liked to sit on. He jumped up on
the chair next to her and pushed and scratched her to try
and make her get off his chair.
We got another cat a few months ago and he hates her too.
He howls at her, swats at her with his paws and sometimes
chases her away.
He hates to be brushed, but I have to do it because his
hair ends up everywhere if I don't. I bought leather gloves
to protect myself from the bites and scratches he inflicts
on me when I brush him. The whole time, he howls like it's
the worst torture in the world.
He also loves to destroy things. Once he chewed apart my
computer modem cable right before I had to send a project to
a client. He has also ruined my curtains and torn apart the
wallpaper in our apartment one night when he thought we
stayed out too late.
