The Miso Report

There is a cat that lives up the street from me. I know his name is Miso because the first time I saw him, he was quite friendly. He was also playful so, even though I did get a chance to look at his tag, I also got batted at with his paw.

Over time, he became more and more aggressive. On one occasion, I was walking with someone and we paused to pet him and Miso actually grabbed at my companion's head. It was funny. There were no claws involved.

He is still friendly; I can tell because he doesn't run away and it's actually like he wants to be near you as you walk by. But as soon as you reach to pet him, he grabs your arm with both paws and pulls your hand to his mouth to bite. There are never claws involved but he literally grabs you so he can bite. He will not allow you to pet him---that is unless you trick him by letting him bite your other hand. I tried this tactic on him just yesterday. I had gloves on which was good because I can tell his biting is also becoming more fierce. Soon, I think he will begin to scratch too.

Strange cat behavior.
