Usually you can tell when he gets pissed when you are petting him - the telltale signs are he looks at you, ears go slightly back, tail starts to wag. But this past episode he was just sitting on the sofa with us and hissed and attacked my wife. It was pretty scary for her.
He's the best when he is nice but he turns and its a bit scary. Not for me any more but for other people. Like I said, it's a weird situation because we've grown to like him but when it gets to the point where you are scared of him - then its time to get rid of him. Not to mention when we have a kid, I don't want the cat to get anywhere near him/her. A kid, especially when they get older, doesn't know the cat will bite them and even 1 time would be too much.
When he was smaller he used to do the leg attack thing. He doesn't anymore with us but he does lie in wait and pounces on our other cat. We feel bad for her.
We do have an aunt that lives on a farm with a barn and there are a bunch of cats that live there. It might be best to see if we can drop him off there, or just ask everyone we know if they would want an outdoor cat! I feel bad for raising him indoors and then setting him loose outside but it beats being put to sleep... maybe?
