Not working. He still has teeth and another surprise attack on me tonight. I don't want to hurt him but am now so afraid of my cat that I was stuck on the stairs for 20 minutes crying. This is not looking good.

You may be forced to call a cat rescue. We have one here that gets feral cats fixed, then returns them to the area they were found in, to live out their lives, after getting a nearby person to leave food out for the feral cats in the area. I will pray for you. It sounds like you may have a feral cat on your hands. If you do, you are 'holding it prisoner' (in it's own mind) and if it is feral, which it sounds like it may be, have the tips cut off before you release it. P.S. Feral cats have returned to the wild state and can not be pets. Talk to your local vet for help. I'm sorry this is so hard on you. (HUGS)

Also, not sure if he/she is spayed or neutered but that will help also.

i know what ya mean my sons kittens love jumping and they slip and i get scratched up,
HUGS Dora

They stay on a long time if you trim the nails before putting them on. So far the same set has stayed on my girl's nails for 3 months. We had to put them on her so she wouldn't scratch her injury.

Neutering will calm a male cat down within a few weeks of the operation. There are free and low cost clinics in most moderate sized towns. If you need help finding one pm me.

My cat is neutered and I let him outside on a leash every week so that he doesn't feel like the apartment is a cage.

Sounds like you're an excellant mom to this cat. I hope he straightens up and accepts the wonderful home and owner he has.

Oh my mamma cat is a leash cat too. she loves outdoors and is quite happy if i take her out awhile and then back inside.

I've seen those little nail caps, they're so cute, lol. Did you get him the nice pink colored ones? ;)

Sorry to hear he's making you unhappy though. Our cat like to scratch and bite, but only when playing and I put up with it because it doesn't hurt too bad. Sounds like yours is another case entirely though. Hope you figure it out!

LOL I really considered getting the pink nail caps for him or the pink glitter ones but we stuck with the clear ones.
