I have a 5 month old MC(I have had him since he was 6 weeks old). He will let anybody over at my house pet him for about 1 minute. Then it is all over. He will claw(De-clawing is in his new future) and bite. Does anybody know what I can do?

Thanks, Trenton

Some cats tend to react with biting and scratching when stroked on their back. Some are more sensitive than others. It seems to be uncomfortable for them. Try to avoid that area when petting. And maybe vit. B12 could help - it strengthens the nervous system.
