Yeah I do. But about you. Was there any need for that?

Her brother in law grabbed Mufasa because he was running around and I live on a very busy, 2 lane street. He scared him more than hurt him. He's really quick and sneaky and can get through my legs really easily if I am going outside with something in my hands or something. Now I just let Mufasa come back in when he's ready and pray and pray he's not hurt. Anyway, I do the best I can.

I know how you treat your cat and I've seen the affection between the two of you. There is absolutely no reason for his behaviour to be related to how you treat him. I would have to say there are many possible reasons, Rambo/ dominance issues, chemical imbalance, medication side effects, even the seasons. Has he been neutered? If yes was it done properly? Male cats without it are pretty fierce after 3 years of age.

Whatever it is, it's certainly not through bad treatment.
