I have a 3 yr old female cat. She was a sweet kitten. Shortly after her first heat, she became moody. She has always respected me , and never cared to much for my daughter. For some reason she has never seemed to care for my daughter. She has always been a moody cat, but has never attacked anyone in the family. About a month and a half ago, she was sleeping and my husband put this song on, and she just flipped. She attacked him, scratched him up pretty badly. Shortly after we got her spayed, thinking that might help her, but she is still moody, She seems to be sensitive to a certain sound. Google the song peanut butter jelly time, and listen to it,. Is there anything in this song that would make her scared or want to attack? Because she has never attacked anyone in the family. But she attacked, and now we are afraid of making any certain weird sound around her. Is there anything that can help my cats aggression.. Keep in mind this happened before she was spayed. She also doesn’t like anyone she didn;tknow as a kitten. What does this sound like to you? Is there anything I can do to stop this new aggression. Please help me? And don’t just give me any advice like a picture of a gun . Intrested in an answer that is real. Also I already have a feliway plug in. Just stared using it like 2 and half weeks ago. THank you
I have already answered this question but, again, I would stick with the Feliway. If you only have one it is probably not enough and sometimes they can take a few weeks to work. You could also try Felifriend which is a spray you put on your hands before stroking your cat and it will accept you more.
The other thing I suggested earlier was Bach Flower Remedies – a combination of Beech, Holly and Vine.
Also, you need to carry on normally around her and not be frightened of her as she will pick up on your fear and this will not help at all. Dont press her into anything she doesnt want to do – only stroke her when she approaches you and just keep the handling to a minimum for the time being. Play with her if she likes that (using rod toys, not hands) and reward her with treats when she is being good.
well your cat sounds like it is very worried or nervous about something!
i love the penut butter jelly time!!

Well, I just played that song for two of my cats to see if they would react. The old female in my lap jumped a bit when it first came on but them settled down. The young male came close and actually tried to get right up next to the speaker. Neither of them freaked out, so it may just be something going on with your kitty.
The song is a bit high pitched and manic, so it may have startled your cat.
The Feliway plug-in is great stuff! We’ve had one for about a month now and our young female cat has stopped trying to eat my head. It was really an issue there for a while where I didn’t know when she was going to attack me. The behavior has mostly gone away.
Hopefully it will help your girl too!
