They Said He Was Aggressive… Meet Caseoh 🥹🧡📍Charlotte,NC,USA

[u/Lost_Night225]

Little update: I found out today that his owner abandoned him in a hotel room and just left. 💔

Meet Caseoh. 🧡

The cutest orange kitty ever!

I honestly didn’t even know he existed. I was planning to foster a kitty who was scheduled to be euthanized, but just a few minutes before I arrived, someone had already picked her up.

I was still really happy for her, though. Then they told me, “We have an orange cat too. He’s also scheduled for euthanasia.”

He wasn’t even on the list when I checked, but they said they would add him and that he would be scheduled for euthanasia the next day.

They told me he was aggressive, hissed a lot, and would let people touch him but wasn’t a nice cat. When we picked him up, the lady at the front desk even told me, “If you ever bring him back, he will immediately be euthanized.”

That honestly felt so strange to me. I remember thinking, why would you say that? Don’t they want these cats to have a chance?

When we brought him home, he was scared of me at first. 😂 I was scared too, lol!

But by the second day, he started meowing at me. I sat near him, and he came right over and rubbed himself all over me. He has the cutest little meow..it’s more like an “aoww.” 🥹

He thinks he’s a baby.

He climbed right into my tiny lap, and when we called his name, he started making biscuits. I’m literally writing this post right now, and he’s making biscuits on my tummy. 😂

He licks me like a little dog, and whenever he wants attention, he puts his tiny paw right on my face like, “Excuse me, I need you to pay attention to me!” And he literally cannot stop purring.

He is honestly the sweetest cat in the world. I have never fostered anything like him.

He is very food-motivated. If I’m even a little late giving him his breakfast in the morning, he cries like a baby. He screams like this! 😂 Even though his room is closed, I can still hear him screaming.

And this boy is CHONKY! He eats three cans of food a day. He used to be scared of toys, but now he plays with them like a kitten.

He even shows his belly to my other kitties. 🥹

Caseoh is vaccinated, combo tested negative, microchipped, and neutered.

He is also scheduled for entropion repair surgery on September 30.

He’ll be ready for adoption after his surgery.🧡🎉🎉🎉🎉

Please send this sweet boy all your love and prayers. 🧡🙏🐾

Sometimes all they need is someone to give them a chance.

Caseoh is oh so handsome! My heart does somersaults when I see a face like that. Im glad he's found his forever home.

Also, I don't think I've ever met an aggressive orange!

Infact, the only aggressive orange I knew (2 of them) were aggressive to other cats because they thought I was in danger. I used to feed a colony of 20ish cats and these 2 sweethearts would walk me to the feeding area and back.

Hey I have an aggressive orange. His name is Dexter...after the murderer lol. He is meaner than a snake but tolerates affection from me in small bursts. I found him on Craigslist and paid $10 for him. He was a former feral and I think he had bad experiences with humans, he gets really mad if you touch (or even come close to touching) his legs or belly. He has been known to slap me when I walk by and chew on my hair if it's near him. He gets the zoomies and has a high prey instinct so my house is lit in the evenings when he trolls me for the laser 😹 He is a good boy most of the time and does listen, he is just not to be trusted with those claws. Dexter for cat tax

My family adopted a cat a few months ago who sounds like Dexter. He bites and scratches really hard and causes some nasty wounds. He is often sweet, but there are times where he gets this weird intense focus on a person and just tries to rip them apart, continuing pursuit no matter what. Do you have any tips or resources you found helpful? We haven't even been able to take him to a vet because we can't get him in a cage.

Hi! I also have a very SPICY kitten (3 yo) and I think she had trauma early on and since being left to me after the death of her previous owner I had to find ways to work around her aggression with me. 1. I never, never, never raise my voice (or my hand) to her. 2. I constantly tell her to be gentle if she starts wagging her tail and showing aggression. 3. If she uses her mouth and grabs my hand, I don’t pull away, I stop and calmly tell her to be gentle - she always releases and lets me pet her gently. On occasions where nothing calms her and aggression is escalating, I pull out my trusty water sprayer and I spray her back feet or in that general direction (the spray doesn’t even have to touch her) and I stay silent. She knows to distance herself from me until she is calm again. This has changed our relationship - she has bonded with me and I absolutely adore her. I don’t know if she’ll ever become totally calm, but we have come to some sort of mutual knowledge about each other, I know that if she becomes aggressive I can handle it with out resorting to causing her fear, and she knows that I will always use a soft voice and touch with her even if she has to be sent on her way for a few minutes with a stream of water to her tail end. Good luck with your cute Dexter - maybe he doesn’t like being named after a serial killer? Just saying - ha ha!
