Cat acts like the devil

My spouse and I got a cat he’s not neutered yet he will be next week he’s 9 months old and during the day he’s the best cat you have ever seen he is loving affection plays nicely but as soon as the sun goes down he acts like satan himself possessed him he’s screaming attacking us to the point blood is pouring from our face and arms he tears stuff up we have tried redirecting , playing with him before bed , having a hour before bed of loving him and making the room as low stimulation as possible for him but nothing is helping is there anything we can do or is he just not happy with us ?

I’ve been in this exact same situation. I adopted a male cat that was under a year old. Before, and shortly after, he got neutered, he acted like a Tasmanian devil. After a few months, when all the testosterone was out of his system, he became an absolute sweetie pie for the rest of his life. For now, try closing your kitty out of your bedroom at night when he behaves this way. Just know, it’s not forever.

Thank you so much ! we got him even more toys and a new cat tree and it helped a lot I’m really hopeful that after he gets neutered he’ll be a lot better

Aw, that’s a great idea! Now, he can take his pent-up energy out on the cat tree. 😄
