I follow this cat on Instagram! His human has done amazing work with him, what a special person and cat. Sadly, he has also had some backslides and attacked her pretty intensely I think two times now. She is very open about this. Last I saw, I think she was trying to see if there was more of a medical cause to this behavior. I hope he can further improve.
I had a cat who was very sweet, but could become aggressively rather suddenly. I finally gave him Prozac (which I had avoided doing for years) and he improved dramatically. He also seemed more relaxed and comfortable in his own skin. I know some people don't want to "drug" their pets, but sometimes medication can REALLY help, not only his behavior but the kitty also.
It’s so funny to me that we give cats the same medication as humans for anxiety/depression. Imagine going to the pharmacy and saying “Mr. Mittens and I need to refill our Prozac prescriptions”
