    How can I get my cat to stop attacking me?

    Whenever she wants something (such as outside in my apartment complex) she will attack my feet and start breaking things. How can I train her differently? When she just won't stop I put her in the bathroom. She just turns into a psychotic ball of fur. HELP! It irritates the hell out of me.

    Get a squit bottle and squit her when she is bad. She will hate it, but it should help to calm her down.

    To stop a cat from doing that all you need to do is get a squirt bottle and whenever she starts attacking your feet just squirt her. I know it sounds mean but it really isn't. That is the best way to train cats to stop doing something bad, since they don`t respond to just being firm with them like you would do with a dog.

    Shock Collar for cats.

    I find cats harder to train then dogs. Dogs are pack animals and will listen to whom ever take the Alpha role. Cats, however, will not listen to their owners unless "they" wish to. Also, I would suggest declawing his front paws only. Will still allow him to function in climbing and such, but will cut down on the about of blood drawn on your feet, arms, or whole body.
    This is the only advice I can think of. I have an outdoor/indoor cat, and has always had a mostly good temperment. He used to claw my feet when he was younger, but I shook a can of nails near his head everytime... eventually he got the idea. Your cat seems crazy though, and I'd go to extremes of a shock collar if the nail can doesnt work

    hiss at her when she misbehaves (like "ssss"). i know it sounds silly, but they understand the noise; pair it with a squirt and she'll really get the message that your UNhappy!

    putting her in isolation like you do is good! like a time-out, be sure not to over-do it. also, you may try to distract her with a favorite toy or catnip, preferrably BEFORE she starts acting out if you can tell when it's approaching.

    don't declaw her! please!! try clipping her nails or putting plastic covers on them (softpaws), it's much more humane! (plus, if you use the covers it'll look like she has a manicure! totally cute! they come in many colors)
