    I almost got a second cat this way. He was a super duper socialable and friendly cat… but I was fostering another cat who HATED other cats. I dont mean simple hissing and passive aggressive behavior… I mean she went completely apeshit and tried to kill him. Then she tried to kill me and was so berserk she just shat where she was standing…

    That other cat was a bit of a neighborhood cat and was friendly with several people. I hope he was OK because… well, he did return during winter and it was freezing outside… but I couldn’t let him in because my foster was still there…

      Did the cat only try to kill you when it saw other cats or did it try to kill you at some point period? If the latter, how did you deal with that? Did that ever go away?

        Nope, only went berzerk when the other cat was there and after the cat fled. I had to fend off my cat for hours and it took her quite a while to calm down. She was a bit passive-aggressive with me, walking by and hissing softly as he walked, almost like she was my wife who thought she caught me having an affair with another girl…

        Believe me, it was scary. Have you ever had a cat attack you? I mean REALLY attack you, like being entirely unafraid of you. I never kicked a cat before in my life, but in this case I had to, both in self-defense and defending the other cat who she absolutely was trying to kill.
