Pearl's Attacking Poor Colby

[krazyaboutkatz]

Thanks for your comments. Yes, I know that males can also be aggressive because when Storm was younger he was the one that was acting aggressive and chasing some of the other cats. Alani & Blaze were chasing poor Ziggy around so much that she couldn't ever relax in the main area of my home so I decided to adopt another younger cat so that they could then have another playmate to chase and play with. This kind of backfired and they didn't seem at all interested in playing with Colby. I then adopted another younger cat to be a playmate for Colby. Finnegan was the perfect choice and now he and Colby are very good buddies. Now I also see Alani & Blaze sometimes playing with them too. Ziggy can now sit in the main area and relax because Alani & Blaze are either tired from playing with the two younger cats or they're preoccupied by them. So far the two younger cats know not to chase Ziggy and I hope that this will continue. Pear seemed very interested in both new cats at first but then for some reason she started to attack Colby. She seems to try to attack him while he's using the litter box. I caught her trying to do it again this morning but I got her in time before she attacked. I sure don't need Colby to become afraid of using the litter box and then doing his pee/poops some where else.

Rather than jump right to medication, perhaps a special collar sprayed with Feliway is the way to go for Pearl while she gets used to the newcomers. My Diego is on prozac but there are times when he needs a little reinforcement and calming down still. That's when I break out his ever-so-cool black breakaway collar and give it a good spray with Feliway. Doesn't take long after its on before he is a very nice boy again and Miss Cali is safe.
