Update on my new rescue, CHESTER!!

Oh Lori, I wish I had the answer for you.
When I was having problems with Sades viciously attacking Mooky, I had to resort to being a little tougher with him. I would yell NO, then grab Sades by the scruff of the neck and gently, mind you, throw him on the bed and close him in the room, by himself for a few days. The last time I had to do this, he stayed in the room for almost a week and it's been almost a year now, I think, since I've had to do this. They still hiss now and then at each other, but there have been no more attacks.
Also, whenever Sades would scratch at the door, I would open it just enough so he couldn't run out and squirt him with water yelling NO at the same time. He knew I was not a happy camper. Once he did come out and was civil to Mooky, I would tell him what a good boy he was and gave him some lovings.

And in regards to your balancing act little dare devil, the only thing I can think of, is that the minute you see her motion to jump where she isn't suppose to, grab her firmly and tell her NO, or try the squirt bottle. Then after doing this a few times and you catch her again, just yell NO and if she stops, make sure you praise her for being a good girl.

Good Luck sweetie. I can sense in your writing how frustrating this is for you. E-mail me if you want to vent some more, okay.

Is Chester Staying???I hope?
I think you'll miss the neck hugs after he's gone,if you place him
Chester sounds like my Ethel and Bowie(2 of my all black cats)laying on the head or neck at night.Can be a pain but sometimes I wonder where they are if noone is smothering me

Lori....If you can't place your 2...send them here.What's 2 more
Really....I am accually thinking of it.
Try to do what Lorraine suggested a few times.
That accually stopped my Lucy a couple years ago from attacking Marshall.I got upset with her and said NO very loud...chased her just a little then a couple minutes later hugged her so she wouldn't be upset.But it worked after a few times.I did't yell,i just said NO VERY loud...and I just chased a couple feet,not all over the house ,but it worked.
And now she sleeps on the end table next to my bed and watches me sleep every night.
