We have a very aggressive male cat, Jack, AKA Big Bad Jack. By the time we got him he was pretty messed up, but slowly he had learned how to play without going psycho and terrorizing the entire household. Nonetheless, playing with Jack is like playing with razor blades.

For the longest time I thought I was getting age spots. Only recently did I realize that they were all the result of puncture wounds from Jack, and not age spots at all.

LOL Ivan! But I'm glad you're not complaining..err, nevermind. :biggrin:

Any pics of big bad Jack??

He's cute, although that sharp look in his eyes.. As if it's: "avoid me if you can" look. :biggrin:

He was still really crazy when I took that shot. He was in fact sizing up the camera for an attack. IIRC he took a swipe at it.

The best pet product I've ever found is the pheromone calming collar, for cats.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00460Y17S/?tag=pfamazon01-20

They can help to fix all sort of behavior problems, from fighting to spraying.

Within five minutes of putting one on Jack, he was different cat. They work amazingly well. If not for these collars I don't think Jack would be with us anymore. No joke! We've had a lot of pets and had never seriously considered getting rid of one before.

Wow. But it's good to know about the calming collar. I go to this shelter, where I've been told that some cats can get suddenly aggressive and we should be extremely cautious while handling them. Although I doubt their unawareness about colars, but I'm going to tell them anyway.

A cat is a fluid with large surface tension.

Haha, we used to do this, but it takes them too long to mulch down.

Is that a pot plant? That would explain the cat's demeanor.

I had a dog once who would ring the doorbell to get in. Now that I think of it though, I wonder why my house had a doorbell for the door that led to the backyard?!? :confused:

If Little Tyke didn't like what I'd put down for her to eat, she would throw in the towel. I had towels lying near her food bowl, so she would reach over and drag one over the food. So I moved the towels. Now she grabs the bag of sponges instead.

That's her way of asking for a new menu. :rolleyes:
