Please note: We are not veterinarians, only cat owners and lovers. If your cat is exhibiting a sudden change in behavior, you might want to call your vet. DO NOT physically discipline your cat (hitting, etc). It will not work and will only make your cat avoid you.
TIPS for CRAY-CRAY CATS
leave for work...every day. So I got him a friend and that solved the problem.
Another issue is that might be that he's hungry: young, active cats need more food
and will sometimes act wildly in an effort to let you know that they are hungry.
He also needs a man's sport sock stuffed with another sock which is stuffed with catnip that he can kick.
also, as a knitter, i made my cats a toy made out of different sized balls of yarn with different lengths of yarn to attach them all to a handle. they would attack that with gusto and would work out alot of energy with that toy.
Also, I know it sounds silly, but my cat has a human-sized stuffed animal (ok not human-sized, but FOR humans) that he LOVES. He wrestles with it all time time. Maybe try rubbing one with some catnip to get him used to the idea. It could help with his urge to attack things. (I seriously put this stuffed animal away every morning and when I come home in the evening, the thing is on my bed or strewn somewhere on the floor.)
