Is it normal to hate a cat?
My husband and I really wanted to get a cat. We looked at tons of shelters but didn't seem to find a cat that clicked with us. Until one day I was scrolling on Craigslist where I found a 10 month old female kitten. I instantly fell in love with her adorable face! I responded to the ad and she was ours. In the beginning I noticed she had some weird habits like you can only pet her a couple times before she bites or scratches. I chalked it up to normal kitten behavior. But it got worse she barely let's me pet her or I get bitten. I've tried spray bottles and scruffing but nothing works. Along with doing this she's now torn all of my carpet to complete shreds (even though she has a scratch pad!) And is peeing all over my couch! I'm so fed up with her behavior and can't help but get extremely angry when I look around at everything she's ruined the point I want to beat her! To make matters worse shes completely in love with my husband and I feel like he almost gloats about it. She has to sleep in our room next to him or she shreds the carpet outside our door! I want to get rid of her but I know that I'll never hear the end of it.. I don't understand why my husband thinks this behavior is appropriate to just let an animal completely tear up your house because it sleeps next to you at night???! I can't even stand looking at her I get so mad! Is this normal!? are all cats like this!!!
