I can pet his head and scratch under his chin but, if I try to pet down his back he automatically tries to bite me, but it's not an I'm mad at you bite it's an I want to play bite, every time you touch his back, tail or belly. Mine will lay on the floor or wherever and roll on his back like he wants to be pet, and you might get just the one pet bc, he'll try to hold your arm and rabbit kick and bite at the same time. I've had him since he was 6-8 wks old, the owner at the time didn't remember when he was born but, we knew just by looking at him what his age was. Since day one that I got him he only likes his head pet and everything else means play. I'm hoping he grows out of that but if not, it is what it is. Some cats are just like that, hypersensitive, they want play time. According to Jackson Galaxy, from My Cat From Hell, it's normal and some cats are just hypersensitive like him. You can train cats but, it's a lot of hard work, consistency and clicker training is best, IMO. Make the training a few times a day but make it at the same times every day, make it part of their daily routine. Have a great day and God bless.

Ok the "fAttica" got me lol

'Health issue' / pain was also my 1st thought.

As some who has a cat that hates everyone I love seeing people who are doing everything right with their spicy kitty. Slow and steady let the cat make the first move and over time you will win their trust and when you do it is the best feeling in the world and so rewarding.

My kid’s dad’s cat was like this kitty. The only person she liked was my ex. The only time she was sweet to me is when he went to jail and I took her while he was in locked up. She became super loving, but only to me. When he got out and went home, she immediately became his girl again, and returned to being spicy for me. Rip nala

I think it’s because Andrew wears his SHOES inside his friends house and the car doesn’t appreciate it.

I'm so glad she started being nicer to Andrew. My mother had a cat nearly identical to Attica in size, color and attitude! I was never once able to pet her in the 17 years my mother had her. My formerly feral cat, who doesn't let anyone pet him other than me, will just walk away.

Awe she's just temperamental lol! I'm so glad you are patient with her personality as a lot of people would of NEVER kept her. And kudos to Andrew for working on wining her trust rather than be mad or afraid of her.

OMG ITS ATTICA!!!!! Our Favorite spicy paprika cinnamon loaf❤❤❤❤❤

Attica was just not having it. But I appreciate that he worked to build her trust and was persistent in his efforts over time. Also the fact that the cat is on social media aa Fattica19 is hilarious. She's just a chonky, spicy kitty.

Attica: hisses Andrew: aw, I love her 🥰 The power of cats.

You are getting there, buddy. When she accepts you fully, you will have a best friend for life. Hang in there.

Attaca is probably shy of eye contact. She might interpret that as a threat until she gets used to it. Most animals have that insticnt to look away from something that is portentially aggressive in order to avert conflict. I have the theory that NOTHING on earth is more frightening to an animal than a human face. High praise for the patience and tactics of not forcing her attention by capture. Better to let her come you on her terms, then just a couple seconds of pet time. Scratching her over the hips is something that cats reserve for trusted people - and other cats💘

Same situation with my boyfriend's cat. The cat always reacts aggressively to strangers. Or he doesn't show interest, but he keeps an eye on you and attacks you if he thinks you're suspicious. He and I went from freezing in the hallway and screaming heart-rendingly, to meeting after work, lying on my chest before bed, and I’m the only one he listens to now. and yes, it took me 4-5 years. More time has passed, but I don’t regret it.)

It's Kung Fu Tabby... Don't mess with her 😸😁

I was the loved one. It's a high honor but a little sad. My Maggie would let only one of my 4 siblings pet her. She tolerated my husband.

One tactic to try for a swatty kitty is to NOT pull your hand away. When a cat swats with their claws out its the pulling away motion that leaves a scratch. If shes not moving backwards, you will get hurt less if you just let her lightly wap you instead giving a big reaction.

The tail switching a lot means that the cat could be overstimulated and needs a time-out. I love your story, Thanks for sharing.

My grandma's cat was just like her. Totally nice and calm and the minute you felt save around her, she went all berzerk. She was the reason why I was afraid like hell of cats when I was a kid.

''a little chunky'' uh huh lol

Most people approach a kitty face first with a probing finger or hand, and that scares them. Why can't you just caress the back ?

My aunt had two cats and for the first like 10 years of my life they absolutely refused to interact with me. I was so happy when they finally let me pet them.

How refreshing to hear the owners actually took her to the vet to make sure there wasn't a medical issue, instead of dumping her somewhere like some folks would!

Do you think she's in pain or has something like arthritis?

My Calico is exactly like this, only not fat and she doesn't discriminate. If you're not Dad, you gotta catch those dagger feet! I did the same thing with her and took her to the vet. His words were, and I quote, "There's nothing wrong with her. She's just a b***h."

She definitely needs to lose weight. That will help her a lot. It's hard on their joints, kidneys, heart... I know, because I have a chonky cat, and I'm noticing her limping a bit when she walks.

I genuinely want to prevent you going through trauma of diabetes, joint and heart issues.

The friend is very nice. He's so patient

She clearly didn’t want her body touched/pet by the people she didn’t know or trust yet. She was simply trying to communicate those boundaries to them…. because, as we know, felines don’t speak English. 😆 Once Uncle Andrew understood the assignment, and only touched her head, it was smooth sailing.😻 She was like, “fall in line people!” 🤣 …Well alright “Fattica19” 👏 (her social media profile name) 😹
