My affectionate cat suddenly bites my throat. What can I do?

Question

Male bombay cat, 11 months old, very recently neutered. Prior to operation began developing very vicious behaviour patterns, including stalking, attacking my limbs and lunging for my throat. Prior to this, he was an exclusively affectionate cat. Is still very affectionate but this affection can become very aggressive, very suddenly. Yesterday, for example, he was nuzziling me and then latched his teeth into my throat. Whenever he does, I gently remove him from the room. Is there any advice?

That is not normal for a cat to be attacking your throat and biting it. If he is this aggressive I would look into seeking out a veterinary behaviorist that can work with you to determine why he is acting so (health issues, behavioral issues, overstimulation, etc) and work on a training and medication routine together. In the meantime, if he is that aggressive, stopping betting before he gets too excited and not having him near your face or neck is best. http://www.dacvb.org/about/member-directory/
