Am I A Bad Person For Giving My Cat Away?
50 Answers
I have had my cat for three years. He never really liked my sisters and every time he sees them, he tries to attack their feet or legs. Sometimes he will jump at me. When I try to cuddle him he just wiggles out of my arms or tries to bite or scratch me. I even tried laying beside him and gently petting him and he finds that irritating. He scratches himself often and because I let him out on the lanai or patio at the back of my house, I was wondering if he had fleas. So I tried to give him a bath but he scratched me. I know it's normal for cats to be moody but he's not very cuddly, it's weird because he can be really nice sometimes. He will rub against my leg sometimes but most of the time, if he rubs against my leg too long, he will bite. He's a lot nicer to strangers. I guess I was wondering, will I be a bad person for giving my cat away? I found a really lovely no kill shelter that's like kitty heaven for cats. The caretakers are very kind and the shelter looks more like a playroom for cats. I don't know, I really love him but if he's not going to let me bathe him or even get close to him, should I really keep him? Any advice or simple answer would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Some cats don't mind water but most hate it although they are good swimmers. They don't need a bath though. Their special tongue means they are capable of cleaning themselves.
I have an unfriendly cat. He doesn't scratch or bite though but rarely allows anyone to touch him. He just sits and stares at us. Leave you cat be if you keep it and let it come to you on his terms.

Your cat sounds normal. Some cats don't like getting cuddles and will fight to get away.
Is it a new cat? If he has fleas, which would be very uncomfortable for him you should use flea products from your vet. I am surprised that you thought that giving him a bath would get rid of them. Do you live with your parents? Maybe they can advise you.
