Hi! My cat showed brutal aggression to my son! I brought him and my wife home. At first everything was fine. We were diapering the baby and the cat was walking around and exploring the new smells and things. Then my son started to cry, and Dilma attacked him! It was not a bite on his hand or leg, she jumped onto his head like a hunter! Son was scared and began to cry even more, my wife became hysterical. I had no choice but to take the cat to a shelter. But I don't know if I've done the right thing!
Dilma is 5 years old and I feel so bad for 'betraying' her. But she betrayed me too being so aggressive to my son! Why did she do that?

I'm sorry to know about the situation. How about trying to re-home the cat instead of leaving her in the shelter? Pets that haven't been adopted for a period of time get euthanized and I'm sure this isn't something you'd want for Dilma. While you'll be looking for new owners, you could keep the door to the baby's room closed so that she can't get in. Good luck and please keep us posted!
I don't understand people who would risk the safety of an innocent baby over a cat that has claws and teeth. They should have stuck to their "furbabies."
