Big Bullies!

Like you I have one cat that came to be declawed and the other cats will pick on him (one in particular). Unfortunately this cat is deaf, so some of the standard approaches don't work to well. What I have learned, is that like little children, a "time out" works wonders. I pick up the attack cat and isolate him in a small powder room for about 10-15 minutes. When he comes his attention has moved on to something else and the fight is stopped.

I also put a collar with a bell on it to warn the declawed cat that the attack cat is coming. This also gives him time to move away.

I am sorry this is happening to Stitch. It is hard to watch one of our furry ones in that position.

I've used this approach when I had 3 cats picking on Dusty who was much older and weaker than the other cats. It does seem to work short term.

Now that Dusty is gone one of her former torment-ers is now the torment-ee! So instead of Jack, Bear, and Cami picking on Dusty, I now have Jack, Bear & Pooky picking on Cami. *sigh* I think Dusty would be happy about it though. lol I still feel bad for any of my cats getting picked on.

There seem to be certain cat who just get "picked on". I think it would happen with or without his claws. I would go with the TIME OUT route. Even if it doesn't prevent all the attacts, at least Stitches would getsome peace while Mo is in time out.

I thank My Lucky Stars that the Found Cats all seem to get along well. Although when Pouncer Karina visited Miquelito used to jump out at her and growl and swat at her!!!
Maybe he was only playing as he does seem to miss her!
CATS!!!!!
