Sorry for the dual post, but I feel this needs more exposure than it gets in cat behavior. It got plenty of views but not one comment or suggestion. This behavior of Sam's is distressing me. My skin is itching due to stress and so on. I am wondering what will happen when I go back to work in two weeks.
Well, the honeymoon is over for me and the kitty kwintet. Sam has taken the addition of Bob and Emily the hardest. He guards the cat tree he thinks as his and no one else can be on it at the same time he is.
He has also been picking fights with any cat. He either directly attacks them to get them to move from a spot he wants, or he sits in one of their favorite spots.
He's even nipped at me and is clearly mad at me.
EDIT: AND HE POOPED IN THE TUB!!!!! This is the second bathroom and I just decided to check in there today. So I moved a spare litter box in there and hope no one else notices it's there.
I've done my best to give all of them (attention and Love) time but I'm not sure what to do about this.
Any suggestions?
