I don't know what to do anymore. Ally and Connors constant "bickering" escalated into a full blown cat fight this morning. Not even a spray bottle could separate them! It took us ages to get them apart, and put them in separate rooms, then when I allowed them together in the same room again the were fine.
The problem is that my husband is losing patience with them. He says he is fed up with them fighting all the time. (They carry on really late at night and early in the morning, so they wake him up). This morning he was so cross he said he will get rid of them if I don't sort them out. I begged him not to mak me get rid of them, but in the long term if the situation does not improve I will have to look at re-homing Connor. This is breaking my heart, and I am crying as I write this It will be next to impossible to find a home for Connor here - especially with his deafness. Most people here only like persians and other pedigree cats, and the majority are outdoor/indoor, which is totally out of the question for a deaf cat!
Ally is actually the cause of 90% of the trouble. She teases and smacks Connor until he loses his temper and fights back. My nerves are at breaking point with this whole situation, I just want to cry every time I think about it.
Ally is also being very aggressive with me. When I was petting her on the weekend she attacked my wrist and hand very badly - she grabbed with her claws and bit really hard. The puncture wounds are very deep, and it took about 15 minutes to get the bleeding under control. I have been to the doctor, and am not able to move my hand properly - the Doctor has given me antibiotics and painkillers. (Of course this has just served to upset my husband even more - unfortunately she "attacked" me in front of him, otherwise I would not have told him She seems to be showing "misplaced aggression" - I am worried sick that the next time it will be one of the kids.
Feliway is not available here, and will take a couple of weeks to get here if I order it off the web.
Would Rescue Remedy help? (I THINK it may be available here). What is the dosage?
Please help - I dont want to have to re-home Connor. I just cry every time I think about this mess.
