Have you seen the show? Have you applied anything to your cats? I'm a big fan. I've never heard of it. Tell us about it. > Have you seen the show? Have you applied anything > to your cats? I'm a big fan. : I've never heard of it. Tell us about it. : : > Have you seen the show? Have you applied anything : > to your cats? I'm a big fan. National Geographic Channel Caesar Milan on every weekday, I think The guy is really gifted and made me really feel inadequate and that's hard to do, not that I'm not inadequate just hard to convince... : -) >Have you seen the show? Have you applied anything >to your cats? I'm a big fan. Cats != dogs. As a behaviourist myself, I can tell you that trying to use canine psychology on your cats is doomed to utter and complete failure. Cats have a much looser heirarchy than dogs. If you want to be able to communicate with your cat better, pick up a few books on feline behaviour and apply those methods. :) You'll be amazed how well they respond to it Orchid See Orchid's Kitties! -- http://nik.ascendancy.net/bengalpage Want a Purebred Cat? Read This! -- http://nik.ascendancy.net/orchid Perhaps you can tell me how to stop a cat from beating up on another one. I got this 10 years old cat from a no kill shelter 8 months ago and he is extremely aggressive to the cat I already have. I still can't leave them in the same room together. I tried letting them outside together, and he attacked him there, too. My happy home is no longer happy. And yes, they're both neutered. > >Have you seen the show?

Actually, with the problem you describe it's a very relavent question. Don't ask for help if you're not willing to try. Mar --------- Vet Tech student >That's neither here not there at this time, is it. Actually, it's extremely relevant. Cats are highly territorial, and often how they begin is how they go on. If you did not introduce them gradually, there's good chance that if you separate them and then introduce them properly your problem will be solved. And please try to keep in mind that I do this professionally, and am being nice enough to consult with you over the Internet for free. If you're going to cop an attitude and refuse to answer questions (which may seem irrelevant to you) that give me a better handle on your situation, you can piss off. :) Orchid See Orchid's Kitties! -- http://nik.ascendancy.net/bengalpage Want a Purebred Cat?

A hard answer, but I think I would bring him back and take another cat. There the people have to know that he can only be adopted out as an only cat. There *are* cats like that. Carola I couldn't bring myself to take him back. He was in a cage for six months before I took him in. They have tons of cats there and it's rare that someone comes in who will take an old cat. I did so because I'm old myself, had just lost my cat of 17 years, and knew I wouldn't live long enough to take in a young one. > : Perhaps you can tell me how to stop a cat from beating up on another one. > I [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > > Carola :I couldn't bring myself to take him back.

Maybe you can just separate the two for some periods of time, so that all of you can get some peace? Some people suggest Feliway, if you try it out, don't forget to tell us if it works. Carola Might be a job for Feliway; I'm not sure how it works; I think you just plug it into the wall and it sends out (undetectable) cat-calming chemicals. I've got a couple cats that thoroughly detest each other... fortunately it doesn't break out into war too often. pat > Perhaps you can tell me how to stop a cat from beating up on another one.

Read This! -- http://nik.ascendancy.net/orchid What I learned from Caesar Milan, Dog Whisperer: He gets into the dogs behavior and really almost becomes a dog. The same can be done for cats. Learning that they aren't people and to not treat them as people helped too. The idea that most bad behavior is caused by the owner and not the cat too... And not favoring one over another, even if the one is special ... well that's hard but cats are kind of cool in that way... if you are petting one another will come up and help you groom the first one, if you let them geez, I love cats. : >Have you seen the show?
