my cat we just got last year and he is quite a handful. luckily i am usually home as im disabled, as he attacks our older cat and wants to play all the time with him but he gets too rough and i have to break it up sometimes. I love him to pieces too and he love bites but a few times he did scratch me and for no reason i know of. I do know there is a real thing called cat scratch fever, not really knowing the symtoms of it if anyone knows? we thought thaat by getting him fixed he'd be more calm but it didn't turn out that way.
