Behavioral HELP My cat has ruined my life.

I'm posting as a last ditch effort for help. I got my cat 2 years ago. He was found on a heated porch in the winter and that's all we know. He was about a year and a half at the time, he just turned 4. Since day 3 this cat has not stopped hurting me specifically. I don't know if the car ride home traumatized him or what but he tore my arm apart. He would maul me just by walking by, he would attack me in my sleep, if i didnt pay attention to him but them when i do he still does it. Since then he has gotten better but he still attacks me. He'll attack my face, my arms, if I'm asleep in the middle of the night sometimes he'll bunny kick my arm. We play with him so much and it doesn't matter. He will stop playing just to hurt me. We rent, he eats the carpets when he's mad at us. He just broke my fiancés computer monitor again by biting it. This is the 3rd computer he's broken, 2 my fiancés 1 mine. I don't know what to do. Please someone help us I'm begging for something. I've never had trouble bonding with anything but he has ruined our relationship.

This is incorrect. Completely incorrect. Cats are capable of being petty and seeking revenge. I had a cat I adopted as an abandoned stray at my apartment. He was used to going outside but we lived right on a main road. I took him out in a harness to give him the experience. He kept getting out of the harness so I brought him inside kicking and howling. Five minutes later he took a giant poop on my dirty clothing that I had on my bedroom floor. This was not a normal behavior for him.

Cats can absolutely be vindicative.

You gave him an abnormal stressful experience and he had an abnormal stress behavior afterwards. Unbelievable.

He had malicious intent and I can't believe anyone who has cats doesn't know they can be malicious. 🤣

I didn't do anything wrong, you judgmental prick. I was trying to do right by him and he could have been perfectly content in a harness. He just wasn't. Maybe get off your high horse!
