Hi!! I just wanted to add to the cat aggression post. My kitty is wonderful and loving! But I adopted her at the age of 4 and she had play aggro issues. She will get “stuck” and fixated on prey (my leg or arm or foot) and going limp, saying “no”, and holding still did not work. I would have to peel her teeth and claws off. Now I keep a sweater so when she hunts me, I dangle the sweater between us to block her view and THEN I walk away. This keeps us both safe while she cools off!
As I’ve said before, saying “no” actually encourages the cat to continue biting and attacking, so half the issue may lie in that.
This level of aggression is a pretty serious one, and if you’re making it work for you, that’s good. But others may not be able to deal with something similar.
