Ricardo's guardian explains why she has made the difficult decision to rehome him:  "He has attacked my cat on several occasions." Bite/Scratch/Attack Incident:  On 1 November 2023, Ricardo attacked the resident cat; the skin was not broken and animal control was not involved.  Ricardo's guardian explains:   "I have had to keep Ricardo and the cat completely separated due to his attacking her.  She recently entered a room where he was able to get to her and had her pinned down, trying to bite her.  I was able to pull him off her."
