My cat attacks only me in my room. Vet says he's fine. What can I do?

Question

Hello there! So I adopted my cat when he was only one month old. I’ve been raising him sorrounded by love and I take a good care of him. But a few months ago he started to atack me,he’s been really agressive with me and it’s only with me. He attacked me twice and is always in my room for no reason. I brought him to the vet today the vet said he is fine,he has no fever,no pain,he doesn’t look sick. According with the vet he is so young to have cancer and other kinds os disease. What should I do? Pet's info: Cat | Domestic Longhair | Male | neutered | 1 year and 11 months old | 13 lbs

HI, thanks for using PetCoach! Adorable pictures! Cats are funny things and sometimes they react this way because they are anticipating a negative interaction with you. Cats hold grunges. And sometimes we do not even know we are doing anything wrong. I would keep him out of your room. If that is the territory he is claiming control over, prevent access. I would put a feliway diffuser in your room and right outside your room. I would limit the tight snuggling as most cats do not like that despite appearing to. I would only pet him when he comes to you. Only pet around his face and neck and as soon as he starts to flick his tail or turn his ears, stop. Give him treats during these brief petting sessions. After a few weeks to a month of non aggressive snuggling and petting if there are no aggressive tendencies open your room back up to him. If there is no improvement then I would discuss prozac with your Vet. I hope this helps! https://www.drsfostersmith.com/product/prod_display.cfm?pcatid=8906
