I'm afraid of my cat

She is the kind that will let you pet her for a few minutes, then without warning, will bite and scratch you. She is purring while you're petting, even rubbing her cute little face on your hand then, CHOMP! She clamps with her teeth and clings on to your arm with her claws.

The is the very first cat I have encountered with such a problem. I've pretty much accepted that this is how it's going to be, I can't snuggle her at all.

Before I completely give up, is there any way you can actually train a cat? I know there is some guy in the Florida Keys that has trained cats and they perform tricks.... Maybe I'm not looking to train so much as to end her biatchiness.

She don't like hippies.

I had a female cat like that years ago. I even nursed her, because we found her when she was too young to be without her mother. Evil, evil cat. I tried everything with her.....extra attention, treats, talking to her and yes even biting her back. Nothing worked.......good luck with yours!

My partner said b/c she is female she is wicked.... I know it sounds chauvinist but he doesn't mean it like that I've had female cats and they were angels I'll never know.

We have the same cat. I call him Slash. He hates us and we don't like him a lot. We got him when he was very young, abandoned on the side of the road. Maybe that's it? He is mean as hell.

We have one cat, the calico, that does the same as yours, all rubbing on you, purring, loving the petting,, then without warning she bits the hell out of you and runs off a few feet, then she comes back and tries to get you to pet her again.

the other one will sit and purr as long as you pet him, if you stop, he bites. or if you walk past him while he is up on something and you dont pet him on the way by, he attacks you.

I feel sorry for the little dog, those cats whoop his stupid butt each and every day.
