So basically I had a few kittens which I had to feed myself while they were little because their mother went missing just 3 days after giving birth (we have a pack of feral raccoons in our neighborhood who probably decided to attack our poor cat, as they sometimes did, but this time she was weakened due to giving birth and I guess it was a terrible moment to let her catch a quick breath outside).
Since these kittens had human contact basically from the start, I decided to give some away after like 9 weeks (which was probably my first mistake) and this one kitten in particular was already a bit anxious and it takes more time for him to get used to his environment and new people but was very playful once he got used to them. So I decided to give him to my aunt, who claimed to care for him and after a week (yesterday) she told me her husband was abusing the kitten so I took him back.
Thing is, as the title suggests, he's extremely aggressive towards other kittens (his siblings whom he should remember from just a week ago? Maybe their memory isn't that good, I don't even know) and sometimes myself. For example he bites them so hard that they cry out loudly (note that the other kittens aren't used to such stuff because the most aggressive they get is when they are very angry and even then they don't try to bite at all). He's also constantly nervous and has to move or attack someone every few minutes. I'm not sure I ever saw him sleeping and it's been a day since I got him back, that's how energetic he is.
I know people would say all I can do is go to the vet with him to get therapy sessions, but let me tell you that shit is expensive where I am and I just can't afford that.
