Help! My Cat Has Become Aggressive!
“Dear Dr. Paola,
Notts is a rescue along with his brother Lumos. I have 5 other cats. I’ve had them for 5 years now. When I got them, Notts got along great with my other cats til we had him fixed. He totally changed. He’s mean and aggressive. At first, it wasn’t that bad. But as the last 3 years passed, he has gotten worse. My one cat, Mr. Toes, is his main target. he’s beat him up so badly. Mr. Toes won’t leave the kitchen or get on the floor, He won’t use the cat pan. he poops and pees on my kitchen counter. Mr. Toes has no teeth so he can’t defend himself. My once happy cats are now fearful and not getting along. They both (Notts & Lumos) destroyed my once peaceful and loving home with my cats. It’s gotten worse this past year. l don’t want to get rid of them So what should I do? Please help, Dr. Paola!” – Sheila
