Any tips for calming an ultra violent cat??

Hello,
My cat Toby is almost 3 years old, he's always been a little terror, biting and scratching, but has his loving moments, on his terms. He hates my wife. When we got him I was working from home at the time so he become attached to me and whenever my wife would get home from work, he saw this as taking me away from him, so he would attack her. There's plenty of stories I could tell you, documenting his horrific acts but I won't bore you.

Does anyone have any tips that can help calm down a very violent cat? I have tried many things (too many to mention) but won't mind if the same ones are thrown up here.

He scares my wife with his attacks, we have a 9 month old girl, who loves him to bits, he doesn't share this love though. He has never hurt her, or even tried to hurt her yet, but I would like to get some ideas on how to cool him down, in case he does go for my daughter one day.

Thanks in advance.

Neil

Firstly, is he neutered? Secondly, you need to show him you completely disapprove of his behaviour (squirt him with water, make a loud noise, remove him from the roomand isolate him until he calms). Possibly the females in your house need to make more of an effort to be with him, let your wife feed him, play with him, discipline him etc. He to know that he is less than they are, that in the power pyramid he is the lowest of the lowand your wife and child are way higher than him. He needs re-educating. I expect you have tried most of this - but be constistant andpatient and it should work.

Re: Any tips for calming an ultra violent cat??

I had a rescue like this but she was a girl, I never allowed her near children and would put her in a seperate room if we had visitors or would tell them to leave her alone.
She put me in hospital a good few times and she attacked a lot of people in the 5 years I had her.
I never tried to calm her I just accepted her for how she was but that was because she was a rescue and i didn't know her history.
Because you have a young daughter I would seriously look at rehoming him if he is already castrated as you would never forgive yourself if he hurt her badly.
