Hello, I was hoping someone could help me with a problem I just had with my 10 month old male cat. He has not been fixed yet, but he has an appointment in 2 weeks. I also have one of his female litter mates. They have always been strictly indoor cats, but today it was really pretty out, and they were whining at the windows so I decided to let them out for a bit...
The male cat dashed off. He finally came back 2 hours later and immediately attacked the female cat. Had her squealing. He was being very rough, and he'd never done this before. I went to break it up, and he literally jumped up on my face, and started scratching. When he was finished, I was covered in blood. And I think I need stitches on my lip.
I'm really tore up now, and he's outside because my parents are afraid he'll do it again to someone else.
Has he gone crazy? Is this just a behavior problem, or could there be a health problem? I'm oblivious as to what to do about this. I don't know whether to make him stay outside, let him in and see if he acts ok.. I just don't know. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!
