Did you have the cat from a kitten, or adopt them once they were an adult?
this was its behavior since it was 1 month old kitten. It has always behaved and thought as if water was fire. also scratching, biting, and fighting anyone who tries to carry it like a venemous snake. no vet or groomer could handle him without sedetion. It is a big short-haired russian breed with muscles like a small tiger. btw I'm an animal lover and worked in farms since I was a kid dealing , raising, training an taking care of all cattle animals and horses as well , and I still have 2 beautiful smart paient and well trained dogs and a cat. I've adopted, trained, handled, and conditioned more than 20 in my life. that cat was too ungrateful and I gave him away before nueterning him, and without declawing him either.
Doubt.
You write like an asshole, and I'm not surprised the cat wanted nothing to do with you
Edit: Sorry mods, apparently I'm also an asshole. I will try to be nicer
see rule 1) be kind
I can prove you wrong with pics but I don't have to. Btw even the guy I gave this cat to couldn't keep him. This cat impregnated a cat then killed all her kids and got the wife extremely sick by an infection and then we paid $1500 to save her in extensive care for a week. You cannot blame me for giving him away. I never hit him or abused him; I just couldn't take care of him
