I have a cat named Twister who likes to ride other cats is this normal?

Is Precious neutered yet?

If he is creating problems for Garfield, maybe a spray bottle of water would discourage Precious now and then. Some gentle discipline couldn't hurt the young 'un!

There are a lot of good ideas and experiences here, someone will have an answer for you.

Oh goodness how I know this one! Allen used to do it to my 100 pound dog Nicki. To this day, Nicki still doesn't trust him, and he outgrew that behavior 4 years ago

Its just kitten play. The older cats will put him in his place when they get tired of it, or when it starts to turn serious.

Yeah all of my cats are spayed and neuteured it is Twister not Precious that rides my other cats, if Precious does anything it is just giving baths to Tiger which then those two start to fight cause he does not want a bath, lol. Yeah water works if she is being too rude, but disiplining Twister does not do anything he does not mind being sprayed with water still does not make him stop. He is just a kitten like a lot of it sounds he probably will stop it later on it life, lol hopefully. Yawns man am just waking up here, feel so tired like want to go back to sleep but am going out to eat breakfast in a couple of hours at I Hop. Yeah we always put Twister away when my dog is eating cause Twister trys to go eat too or eat her dog food or drink her water and lucky does not like it and will growl or bark when someone trys touching her food.

So he's still a kitten-brain, that's all! As my kennel boss says of some cats:"He's always remembering that he's supposed to be somewhere else."!

I'm sure he will settle down.

I'd be interested in hearing what happens in the next month or two.
