I agree, with above said. we have the most annoying cat ever! She eats, spews up, comes back for more food with the most devilish meow ever, i dont like her very much at all haha But i would never tease her, but i have smacked her a few times when shes swiped at me for no reason. I think u need to talk to Mr I about teasing the cat, its quite dangerous my bestfriend has a scar on her chest from her cat when she was a kid, she usto pull his tail and i guess he'd had enough which is fair enough IMO I dont think your ever going to stop a cat from swiping in retalliation, but you can watch to see whats making him swipe and stop that behaviour.
