Just Pass Me By

Last night my husband was playing with my cats paws, Otis normally will attack him. I was trying to figure out why sometimes the cat will sometimes suddenly attack him. Then he turn around with me and try to play with me attacking my hands.I do not mind the cat telling me he wants to play, he normally does that fairly well by attacking my clothes and that don’t bug me. Okay I do not like being clawed or bite. I will let Otis bite me when I am a sleep because sometimes he wakes me up from asthma attacks. Grant it I was a little sharp with him, because I do not want Otis to thinks it’s okay to attack and I figure if the cat don’t like something my husband shouldn’t do it.
Otis hasn’t been listening as well as he used to, if I tell him No when he clawing he looks at me then just continues clawing. He does the same thing with my husband. Okay, this is getting annoying everything I trained the cat to do, since my husband moved in my cat don’t think he has to obey. He is clawing on things that aren’t his clawing place. I have had to take him and bring him to his scratch post, when I take him from the chair or floor I tell him NO bad, then I bring him over to the Cat post and put his paws there and tell him good. When my hubby not home he not clawing on anything but the minute hubby comes home he does. My husband tries telling him no but it don’t work. When I say no he runs.
The only time I play with Otis paws is when I clip his nails, I figured it good not to always miss with it and he won’t learn to attack me. Now Otis has plenty of toys he can play with so why can’t my husband just take those toys and play with him.
Now there is one problem we have, Otis Scratch post was supposed to be one of those which didn’t break, well it did. So maybe Otis isn’t as interested in his scratch post because it falling a part but it better then nothing for him. Now I need to find a new one but I really want a
cat tree, maybe some how I can get one for free and see what Otis thinks but it have to be big enough for a 20 pound cat. I would like one that more like a condo but those run between 80 to 180 bucks. I will probably need to save aside money once I get a job.
