Hey Carol! Thanks for sharing the update. Great idea about the narrow entrance hideaway spaces, surely she will feel better having some safe spaces and having a chance to heal now.

Thank you for the advice. I do intervene often because she sticks to me, her safety zone, and I am retired. The older cat is improving, but I am also increasing the loudnes of voice, and I am chasing him with spray every time he tries. She is also doing her part. She screeches when he gets near. It's difficult because sometimes they do get along. Anyway, I have devised a few hidey-holes where she can go, and he won't fit. It's sad because they are both very affectionate cats. It is getting better.

In reply to Carol Haney.

Hi Carol. We are sorry to hear about your husband's passing and also to hear bout your struggles with your cat’s behavior. This sounds like something habitual, so for now, your best bet is to separate the cats so she gets time to heal. Also, keep a close eye on the wound; bites can easily get infected. In the wild, she would be able to run away but in your home, that is not possible, and given the size difference, it is your responsibility to intervene. After some time apart, you can try to socialize with them. Please don’t hesitate to contact www.pangovet.com for tips on how to socialize your cats. We hope this helps!

I have a male cat who is neutered but bites my neutered little female cat constantly on the neck. She now has a scab that he is breaking open. I yell, spray him, etc. He knows better but won't stop. What can I do? This started after my husband died, and the older, larger cat started being jealous.
