"Cheryl" wrote in message ... Shamrock will walk up to either other cat and just throw a punch seemingly for no reason! Today it dawned on me. The Feliway diffuser is empty. I wonder if they get addicted to it, or if all hell would break loose all the time if there was no such thing? I sprayed a few spots hoping it can wait until I can get to the store for a refill. Feliway ... producing a new generation of junkie kitties! |

In , PawsForThought composed with style: On the other hand, doesn't it teach the aggressive cat that when he acts aggressively towards the other cat that he gets rewarded with treats and/or play? I am having a problem with my cats. I have a brother and sister who for the most part get along great. They sleep together and play together. But at times the brother will pick on the sister, biting her and acting very aggressive. She howls like crazy in response. No blood is ever shed thankfully. So what do you think is the best response I can make when they are fighting like that? I've tried the distraction method but it only works temporarily. Ah, the age old question. Today I came home and my house was like "Fight Club". For the most part my 3 get along ok but poor Shadow, because of his docile nature, takes the brunt of some chases. Starting in the last couple of days, Shamrock and Bonnie were more aggressive than usual which ends up with everyone throwing punches, including Shadow. He's bopped 'em both on the head a few times and while I'm glad to see him sticking up for himself, I wondered why all the aggression lately?

Karen Wonder if the feliway is actually delaying the cats learning to deal with one another. Left to their own devices (with the appropriate intervention), cats will eventually establish an equilibriem. Wendy |
