I have two cats, one a tabby female (called Tiger) about 6 years old who found me and moved in aged about 3-4 months. As a result of what someone must have done to her before I came along she doesn't like most other people and women in particular, she isn't aggressive just very nervous. About 16 months ago I got a male burmese kitten (young Cooper) about half her size but very dominant and now Tiger is not allowed near me, if she tries Cooper will get up and give her a bat. Nothing aggressive but he is so dominant that now she wont approach me at all, clearly Cooper 'owns' me and doesn't want to share.
Does anyone have any ideas how I can redress the balance of power? It must be awfully lonely for poor Tiger. Other than this they get along fairly well, they share litterboxes, I only have one food bowl and they will occasionally cuddle up and share an armchair. Both are desexed
