I've got a pretty nice African wildcat (pretty much a orange tabby). Anyways inside the house, he would follow me around and jump into my lap or curdle up to sleep with me when I'm on the sofa. Pretty much an affectionate kitten. Put him outside though and he changes entirely. Will run off when I get close and wouldn't even come near me when I off a treat. Is anyone's elses cat similar or is my just bi-polar?

No, my cat doesn't like going outside. Your cat does not like being outside. Maybe you have something outside that freaks him out. But then agian cats are wierd. My friend had a cat that attacked doors!:) Well first of all I don't think I'd let him outside with so many cat diseases running rampant. He could catch feline leukemia and die as well as feline aids. They can get it through saliva. If you keep your cat indoors, it will drastically reduce any chance of disease and will solve your problem. i'd say he is doing like any cat, exactly what he wants to do. i hope u don't let him wander out side alone. I had a cat that was just like that :) I think that maybe being outside gets them more in touch with their wild side and maybe he's just playing as wild kitties do with you :) Well, I don't let my cat outside but when I let my ferret out of his cage he does the same thing. He won't let me come near him.he just nips at my heals and toes and when I bend down to get him he runs away. Your cat probably just likes it outside and it brings out the wild cat inside of him. I don't think there is anything wrong with him he just likes to be outside. Keep his food and water inside and then maybe he'll just come home on his own. but if your cat is going to be outside you should make sure he has all of his shots so that he doesn't get any diseases. Maybe your cat's not used to the outside and he sees so much stuff he just thinks your an enemie too. Not bi-polar, just being a cat, my cats do it to me all the time. It is a wonderful game of chase for your cat. your cat is fine my cat (also a oragne tabby) does the same thing to me outside its normal maybe the cat is trying to play or is very happy to be outside and thinks you are going to put it in my cat climbs the tree when i go near him Bi-polar - NO.
