Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / December 2004Nanki-Poo is feeling his oats
I think Nanki-Poo must have been sick when I brought him home, even though it wasn't noticeable. He did a lot of hiding, and seemed afraid of Lindy. In fact, once he got outside, he spent three days outside, hiding because Lindy wouldn't let him in the house. You'd never know he was the same cat. He's gained weight and isn't skinny like he was when I got him. He's a big guy! Much bigger than I realized. And now he's trying to intimidate Lindy - and succeeding to a certain extent. He keeps going after her food and doesn't want to let her near it. He also rushed her and jumped her this evening. I don't think there were any claws out, but if I hadn't been there to break it up there might have been some fur flying. I was worried about Lindy intimidating him. Now I have to worry about him intimidating Lindy. Joy >I think Nanki-Poo must have been sick when I brought him home, even > though it wasn't noticeable.

Lindy objected briefly, but then quieted down when he ignored her and came up to me for some skritching. Then he got down and Lindy started complaining again. When I looked, Nanki was just sitting on the floor, staring at her. I tried to distract him, but you know how that goes. I finally had to shut him up in "his" room. I thought I wouldn't have to do that any more. This morning I went out into the kitchen and found Nanki-Poo lying almost up against the cat door, facing it. Lindy was in the windowsill. She wanted out, and Nanki wasn't going to let her out. The little brat! Joy > This morning I went out into the kitchen and found Nanki-Poo lying > almost up against the cat door, facing it.

Since their power balance seems to be changeable, maybe it'll settle down. Joyce > > This morning I went out into the kitchen and found Nanki-Poo lying > > almost up against the cat door, facing it.

I had to give Nanki a time out today, because he wouldn't let Lindy come out of my bedroom. She seems to be afraid of him.

For the first two days I had Eros, Oscar was "top dog" ... after that she disappeared under the bed, never to be seen again until Eros left the house. The more I read, though, the more I think there are many things you can do to help cats get along. I should have done my research before just barging blithely ahead. Of course, my husband's allergy to Eros made it all moot, anyway. There were some articles in r.p.c.health+behav recently about how to encourage cats to get along ... might be worth some browsing.

Purrs that they both start getting along soon.

Yesterday and earlier today she seemed totally cowed. This evening I fixed their canned food and, as usual, put Lindy's dish down first. Nanki-Poo immediately headed for it. When he was about two feet away, Lindy slapped him upside the head. He backed off and let me lure him away with his dish. I don't like the idea of them fighting, but I think Lindy needs to stand up for herself now and then to make this thing work. I thought I was all finished with raising kids! Joy |
