Norman Bates

My baby Norman has had a small streak of aggressive behavior. We have a senior dog who is terrified of him. He’s the best cat 99% of the time, but for the safety of our older baby, we need to find him another loving home. This has been the hardest decision of my life, and I hope some one with more cat experience, can love him the way we do.

Why are you rehoming your pet (primary reason)?: Pet Behavior
Rehoming reason details (if necessary): For the last 2 months he has had a couple episodes of unpredictable aggression (1 attack on my dog, and a pretty scary attack on my mom). We took him to the vet and he got a clean bill of health. He is truly the best cat, loves cuddling, playing, spoiled beyond belief. As much as we love him, his last attack has made us all terrified of him. He’s the first cat we’ve ever had and my family is unsure of how to correct this behavior.
