It is definitely going to be a painful process. Leon is only about a year old and so playful and rambunctious. He's going to miss playing all night with his best buddy Greg but I really do know this is no life for a cat.. I really do just hate the idea of them being alone all day. Hopefully...

I understand that, and have for a while now. But you're right, I probably am reading more into it than I should. My cats truly are like children for me and it kills me to isolate them in a room and listen to them try to get Out, but if it helps them I'll do whatever it takes. When she stops...

I think you're getting the wrong picture here. Leon isn't walking around the house getting attacked with every step. Right now he's running around and playing. Yes, he is scared of her but I don't just throw them in a room together and let them have a go at each other. Either way, I have been...

I understand that Leon is terrified of her and they need to be separated but it's really difficult in my two bedroom apartment. No matter what I do to keep them apart, they always manage to see each other because both are sitting at the door trying to break it down to get out. Bit will not eat...

Feliway is so expensive, unfortunately. I bought a diffuser and didn't really notice any changes at all, but that could be because my cats never stay in one room for very long. I'm interested in the medications you guys have been posting about though. When I went to the vet my aggressive cat...

Forgot to say, all litter gets cleaned up in the mornings and at night. Both are fixed. As for fighting, she chases him and he hides. If she can get close enough she'll swat at him. As soon as she spots him in a room it's like she's absolutely consumed with the thought of him. She watches...

I know I definitely introduced them wrong. I didn't know then that there was a method, but now... I know a lot more about cats. They didn't fight, though, when Leon came home. It started a few months later and I want to say it was jealously over the baby kitten getting more attentioN than the 20...

I don't think I'm using the proper cleaner, I haven't been able to find any "proper" enzymatic cleaners around but I'm using Resolve for pets which says it breaks down - not sure how accurate that is. Unfortunately I can't put the mattresses directly on the floor but I will definitely be...

I made a post last week about my two cats who can't look at each other without claws bared - there's Bit Bit who is the 20 lb bully and Leon who is much smaller and the victim in this case. Leon was doing really great about using the litter box but two nights ago he peed in my dirty clothes...

The bottle does not specify, sadly. I only thought it was working over the first few days because she would just sit near to Leon and not immediately try to eat him alive but I believe she was just a little confused about the E-cone he had to wear for a few days because the second it came off...

My cat was prescribed this for 21 days for aggression and absolutely nothing changed with her. Still trying to kill the youngest cat, still very much herself unfortunately as far as agressiveness to other cats. It's crazy how cats and people can have such a wide variety of reactions to medications!

It's been over several months that we've gone through diffusers, medicines and different tactics. I've also heard about the ignoring routine but the few times I've tried I haven't been very good at it :( This reintroduction is also very difficult though. If she's the sanctuary cat she meows...

When I sat I have tried everything in the past few months... diffusers, more litter boxes, more toys, more vertical space, more hiding spots etc. When I had to take Leon to the vet for his eye the vet even prescribed her some medication to mellow her out -- did not even see ANY changes in her. I...

I have a large female cat we call Little Bit who started harassing the newest cat, Leon in October of last year. He became so scared if her he stopped using the litter box and I feel like I have tried every suggestion possible to ease the tension since. Leon has gotten a lot bigger since then...
