I was encouraged by the article until I read that...since I have a terrorized indoor cat...a sweet Ragdoll...being harrassed by my girlfriend's Bengal.
The Ragdoll had been de-clawed...I didn't do it...was like that when I got her. The Bengal is very sweet by very aggressive...a sweet juvenile delinquent.
I would love to sneak Prozac into the Bengal's 'fud'! ;^)
I had to put my aggressive female on Elavil so she would quit attacking my other two cats (one of which is a rescue with a back leg amputated)
The aggressive one (I'll call her "Princesssss") would attack when the others were sleeping! A little Elavil and the attacks have stopped.
We have an alpha cat situation in our home. The cat that sleeps on my chair and gets the food first is the alpha. Our tabby was older and took the title. She is sweet and cuddly. Meanwhile the siamese is gorgeous, aloof, and very aggressive by nature. We decided to lavish her with the attention. A fight ensued over the next few days and suddenly the siamese was on my chair, etc. Unfortunately the tabby was unable to give us love because the siamese would not let her. So finally, we gave the title back to the tabby by simply kicking the siamese off the chair and giving more love to the tabby. She regained her title as alpha cat and the house has been at peace ever since.
