My cat attacks me from under the bookcase or chest of drawers. What is going on?
Your cat thinks that you are prey! You might consider temporarily placing books under the furniture while you modify his behavior. He needs to have an outlet for his instincts. Make up some little balls out of crushed aluminum foil and put them in your pocket. When the cat begins to crouch or look like he’s stalking you, then throw one or two of the balls across his line of vision. Your goal is to make him chase the little balls, not you. You can also put ping-pong balls in the bathtub for him to chase, or get a “cat dancer” and set it in a drawer so it hangs down and draws his attention. Please contact our Behavior & Training Department or call (415) 506-6280.
