I posted on here a few months ago and just wondering if anyone has new ideas on how to remedy this.
About 8 months ago a new young cat came around - she hid for awhile but once she got used to everyone - she seriously took over. There were 2 male cats who ran the colony (just lost the one recently) and she must have known they were in charge cause they were the only 2 she would rub against and eat with -even though she is pushy with them.
At feedings I worked it out for awhile to separate her and her male buddy and they would eat while I got to feed everyone else. Even though I give them 3 different kinds of wet and 2 kinds of dry. She must be bored and now is going back to chasing the others while they eat.
I love her but really dislike this little attitude. Theres one cat I have to feed on teh opposite of the yard because she'll chase her and she wont come back.
Anyway they are all fixed.
I did bring treats out today to see if I could entice her with them... not sure how I can use them though. And I used to make a hissing sound that worked too... not any more.
I recently adopted a new cat and really wonder now if I should have brought her in instead just to keep the peace out there.
thanks for any help
