Cat bit my husband

She might wonder why you were not playing with her. Get a cat toy and tie it to a string or throw it so she goes after it. Also she might want her privacy when she eats and thinks that you are going to steal her food. It could be a teratorial thing and she is not pregnant or in heat. Then she would be very affectionate. You could try to talk to the neighbor, call her or him first and say that the cat comes over to your place all the time.

Cats are very careful, specially if they have not been treated nicely elsewhere. If you like cats, just continue to feed it. Don't pet them just yet. Don't put your hands too close either. It takes them time to earn their trust. I had this beautiful stray tiger striped cat come in my lot last year. He was nasty. Yeah it's a male. We feed it when he's here. I tried to pet him once and him clawed me and tried to bite me. Nasty little prick. But I left him alone and he continues to come around. I stopped trying to pet the little prick. He's also a good mouse catcher. Months down the road. He started rubbing his fur on my legs. I just left him alone. Later on he allows me to pet him. Now we are best of friends. He comes running when I call him. I reckon he was treated badly elsewhere. You know other people just throw things at them, or even kick them. But with me he has a home, and he can come and go whenever he wants. No pressure. He shares the place with 10 other cats, and 6 dogs. I don't over feed the cats so they will still have the need to hunt mouse and rats. :)

Not feeding it in your place is one way and maybe you can try shooing it away whenever it comes near your place. I don't usually do that, since I am a cat person and love cats but I think it works.

if you really wanted to get rid of that cat...try to scare it and act as if you will pound it with broom and always shoo it away im sure that cat wont try to come back again if it knew that they are not welcome in your home...

Cats love a person who often feed them, that's why the cat stayed in your home when both you guys feed them. Normally cats may not bite and scratch us if we don't touch to them. So that i really don't know why the cat could bite yours husband and scratch you guys. If you don't want the cat stay in your house more, just don't feed them more. When being hungry, the cat should go home.

Sorry to hear that.I think the most important thing your husband need to do is taking an injection in order to prevent rabies. As for the cat, I really don't know how to deal with . Maybe she encountered something horrible before your husband met her that day, and she self-defense cuase she misundertood your husband would hurt her.

Stop feeding the cats!!! It will either go back home or move on to somewhere else. I have 3 inside cats. Ive been bitten and/or scratched by all of them many times. They usually try not to hurt me but sometimes i just dont get their warning not to bug them right now. Most of the scratches are accidental.

I don't know the law regarding domestic animal bites in your country. However, if you lived in the US and went to the emergency room for the cat bite, the law would be involved. I was bitten by a neighbor's cat for which I was cat sitting while they were on vacation. When my neighbors returned, they had to show proof of vaccination and keep the cat confined for 10 days. At the end of the confinement operand, they had to take the cat too a vet and have him certified as healthy. They may have had to take him to the vet at the beginning of the 10 day period, too. I don't remember. This was a few years ago.

Yeah--just stop giving food to the cat and I am sure it will look for another owner. Be sure to have your husband checked for rabies.

Just stop feeding her and she should leave depending whereupon you live you can call animal control as alot of places have laws against cats wondering at large and will come pick them up if they are at large then the owners will have to go get her or she will be adopted to a new family

Wel scare that cat off. Beat that cat with a stick or something!!It will surely will not come to you!! Did it scratch unnecessarily??

If you need to get the cat away from you you need to just follow a simple trick. IE, do not feed them when he comes at you. When you don't give him any food continously he will stay apart from you.

Cats do this. They are cats is why. My own cats have al scratched and bit me at one time or another. You just have to have a big understanding of them. They do this when they don't know you too well, want to be alone, are playing and various other reasons. It is normal, but the problem with it is that many people don't know how to handle this and sometimes the cat does have some mental issues to get past. I have seen cats like this and worse turn into very good animals and never act this way again with their owners but it is a complicated process on how to remedy it. Does the cat live outside or did you let it in the house. I wouldn't just stop feeding it, though. I think with alittle patience and knowing about a cat's personality and such might take awhile. Always be on guard of their ways. If you touch a cat on their tummy they might do this, they are very protective of it especially if they haven't known you since they were a kitten. My cat does it, and if I touch a certain place around her shoulder, and I don't know why. The cat might have a sore spot there that doesn't want touched, you just never know. I have had many a cats and I have learned to understand them more as I have had them longer. Let me tell you a story about my one cat, Joe. I was brushing him one day, & yes he hates to be brushed, but he had grabbed my hand with his mouth and wouldn't let go, literally. I had to "fling" him off of me (he landed maybe two feet away) to get him to release my hand, and then he just sat there looking at me. I wouldn't let him in the house for like 30 seconds, then immediately felt sorry for him and let him in. I had him for 20+ years. This is what cat lovers are all about, LOL. He was one strong kitty.

Cats can be very mysterious creatures and it sounds like this one isn't at all sociable. I would suggest that you stop feeding it and avoid it. If you ignore it eventually it might go away. I wish you the best with this situation.
