She hisses and growls if another cat tries to touch a toy she has. She also smacked Sasha across the face today after I gave each of them a toy mouse.
She is a small cat and looks liek she is 6 months bt she is a year. What can I do to stop her from acting that way.

My Tomas is a toy hog, not really possessive but he won't leave Sho alone to play with toys unless he's asleep or out of the room doing something else.

It's hard, but I've gotten it through his head that a few of the toys are not his. When he picks them up to play I will take them away from him and give him a similar toy to play with - this way the other toy doesn't get as much of his scent on it. When he bothers Sho I intervene, telling him to leave Sho alone and distracting him. It's helped a little.

I took it away from her. Then she took another toy and did the same thing. I wonder if its because she is so small. They are even afraid to eat with her.

I just leave mine alone with their "kill", they sort themselves out.

I think Oreo is like that because she was the runt and has fcks. When I got her all the other kittens were double her size and she looks like a 6 month old kitten still even though she is 1. When Oreo gets that way my old cat comes and yells at them and stops Oreo from actin that way.

Fiona is so tiny. More than half the size of the boys. She is the one who smacks and hisses. It's just her way of letting them know she is the boss...at least of her own space if not them.
