    When one cat is more dominating than the other is this healthy or bad?

    Update, hope this isn't too soon to post again... I almost gave up and was gonna give Persy's info to a rescue organization so they can advertise him for a new home eventually, but after a pep talk from some friends I've decided to continue to try to get this to work. To help with his...

    When one cat is more dominating than the other is this healthy or bad?

    I can't seem to get Persy to redirect his energy onto me or a toy.....he's still fixated on Schrodie when he gets the chance! I even used his favorite toy, he barely  notices it. I'm starting to worry that we'll really have to give Persy to someone else...it's not healthy for Schrodie to have to...

    When one cat is more dominating than the other is this healthy or bad?

    UPDATE:  About the same, and it's becoming more and more clear that Persy has pent up energy from being isolated and is releasing it (and fixated) on Schrodi. I feel that I need to do something more than isolate Persy and have him share a towel with Schrodie to address the issue, but I'm unsure...

    Yup, Percy is only 9 months or so and Schrodie is about 2 and a half...or so. Maybe I don't have efficient toys to distract Percy enough... Even his favorite toy doesn't distract him from wanting to tackle Schrodie! You said kickaroos, are those specific toys for kittens or something? I'm also...

    When one cat is more dominating than the other is this healthy or bad?

    ANOTHER UPDATE: Following the article on this site about introducing two cats together I tried the part where after a week or so of the blanket stuff I opened the door a crack to see how they'd respond to each other. They don't hiss, they don't growl, they don't puff up or anything...this made...

    When one cat is more dominating than the other is this healthy or bad?

    UPDATE AGAIN: Through the use of baby doors I have finally heard Persy growl and hiss at Schrodie, specifically when Schrodie was playing with a catnip mouse that Persy wanted. So this leads me to believe that he isn't just playing rough but just plain being aggressive, so now without any...

    When one cat is more dominating than the other is this healthy or bad?

    I'm pretty sure it's all Persy, but he's not growling or hissing or making any aggressive sounds at all. I think he's either trying to play rough or intimidate Schrodie....I mean, he stares at him which I hear is a sign of intimidation, but he doesn't seem mad or upset at Schrodie at all in that...

    When one cat is more dominating than the other is this healthy or bad?

    That's the thing, they don't hiss or growl unless Persy is already chasing or tackling Schrodie. They don't mind each other's scent or seeing each other through a cracked door, but I can tell Schrodie is uncomfortable when Persy gets too rough when they get a chance with each other. *edit...

    When one cat is more dominating than the other is this healthy or bad?

    That's the thing, they seem fine with each other's scents and they don't hiss or growl until Persy's already attacking, so it's hard to tell if things are getting better or not.

    When one cat is more dominating than the other is this healthy or bad?

    Kinda sorta update, questions, and just rambling. I'm worried that my family (both visiting and actually living with me) is getting impatient with me keeping the cats separated, and are either saying to just let them work it out as cats or are losing hope that they'll ever get along. I'm...

    Younger kitten harassing older cat

    I'm new at this as well, and it's been suggested to me to try out the steps shown here - Introducing cats to cats! You need to convince your parents to try this out if they truly care about the kitty's health. I have trouble convincing my parents to take care of their cat, so I know what it's...
