I logged in about a month ago to get help dealing with a very aggro non-neutered female Siamese, and got some good suggestions, but none of them have worked.
The last resort was a 5' board put across the hallway to keep the cats separate, but the Siamese figured out how to pull it down. She's also managed to surmount the board once or twice
One of my cats has gone on the defensive, snarling and attacking if the Siamese gets too close. The Siamese's owner sees that as my cat attacking her sweet innocent little baby (never mind that sweet innocent little baby has ripped to shreds the foam handle off a cane I use to separate the two when she's not here). The other cat just hides anywhere she can--the dresser drawers, on top of bookcases. She doesn't hide in the back of the closet any more as the Siamese would come in there and attack her when she was sleeping.
I have used Feliway until it gave me migraines. There are plenty of litter boxes in the house. They eat in separate areas and eat different foods. Every time we try to introduce them to each other, fur flies, a LOT of fur flies.
I always admired Siamese cats prior to this. This little girl can be one of those 'pet me, pet me, pet me, nowI'mgonnaripyourhandoff' kind of kitty (easily overstimulated). I've got the scars to prove it. Both of my cats are laid back.
HELP!
