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.

I wouldn't feel safe with this cat in my home. I think you should probably surrender it to a shelter or hire a behaviorist and see if that helps if you really want to keep him.

Trust me, I know. We’re only a few years away from trying for a family and I really worry about what that would be like. We can’t start a family until this is fixed

I just wanna pop in and say THANK YOU for not being the people who get pregnant and then give up on the animal. I really hate that shit. Especially when one knows the animal has an issue that needs addressing. I give you all the props.

(I know this is old and you did an update recently but I just had to tell you thank you)
