The pregnant cat I took in has become exceedingly
aggressive and just plain mean.  She was so sweet
at one time.  No, she isn't fixed yet and I know that
is part of the problem.  For financial reasons I have
to wait until at least the first of the month.  This
brings up the second problem.  Her kittens were
born on April 23 so since about a week prior to
that time she has been cooped up in a room in my
house.  It's a normal 9x12 or whatever bedroom sized
room.  I keep toys back there, open the window and
provide a perch, go back there at least twice a day
to socialize with the kittens and with mom.  Only now
she is hissing and down right attacking me on a whim.
I am sure part of it is just being stir crazy but I am not
sure what to do with her when she exhibits this behavior.
Generally I yell (cuz it hurts), then get mad and leave but
I doubt this it accepted cat training technique <g> .  I do
plan on getting her fixed and getting some shots and then
hopefully into a home but not at this rate.  Ideas?  How should
I respond to aggressive behavior?  Is Feliway a tranq?  <G>
I need help...she needs help poor thing.
