Food Aggression!!!!

[Medusa]

I'm surprised there isn't one cat that will put her in her place.

That was my thought also. When my little RB Puddy tried that number, my RB Pidge put her big paw on Puddy's head and held it to the floor until rambunctious little Puddy calmed down. After that, they were the best of friends, too. Maybe wait and see if your other cats decide that they've had enough of her behavior, the little cutie pie brat. LOL

Mine have tended to grow out of it. I remember my second set of newbies, now 2ish, and Cali was WAY bad, growling, obsessive, etc., and she is fine now. I have had the last two kittens (which are 1 in May) 5 months now. While feeding time is still a FRENZIED activity, the growling/swiping/manic behaviour is largely past with them. One is much better than the other.

I still have to feed my 55 lb dog in a separate room because the one kitty, Sonic, gets in the food bowl, and won't stop eating.

My kitten does this too. She's around 7 months old and growls while she eats whenever any of the cats come near her. She does this with her toys too. Whenever she's playing with a cat toy she drags it away like a kill and growls whenever anyone comes near her.

Herky looks just like my best cat friend, Fluffy! Anyway, you could feed all of your cats separately so they all get to eat, then put up their food. Food aggression is very common in cats, as I have had the same problem. My cat Sweetie was like that with her mother and siblings when she was a kitten, though she did grow out of it a while later.
