Ok, I posted this question 2 times in the water sprayer thread, and still no answer, so I figured maybe I would get more attention asking it in a whole new thread. Ok so here it goes:
I have a major problem with my boy Neko, and my baby girl Mia. Neko is 1 years old and neutered, Mia is 3 years old and spayed (although she had panleukopenia (sp) when she was a baby, right before her scheduled spaying, and was knocking on deaths door, she lived through it, but had to wait to get spayed, she snuck out, got pregnant, and then gave birth to 2 of them (one was alive, one was stillborn), she was still carrying 2 others and had to have a c-section. She wouldn't feed the babies for a couple days but finely did, all have great homes now, 2 living together on a farm, 1 at my friends) Ok that is the background on them, so here is the problem.
Neko and Mia were fine when he first came home, although once we adopted Onyx into our home, Onyx started bugging Mia (chasing, hitting). Well Onyx stopped doing that, and Neko started. Although when Neko does it, it is horrendous, he chases her down, then pins her down, with tons of evil growling and hissing, and lots of fur flying. I have found her hiding under tables with scabs on her nose. So during the winter she lived in my room, and now she lives in the garage. She will NOT come inside unless I am holding her very close to me and she is under a blanket, she is a very shy cat anyways, but she only feels safe in my arms. I have tried spraying Neko (towards the back end), spraying somewhere near him, and hissing, and of course yelling once because I was so scared he was going to hurt her. I never hit him, but I really don't know what to do. He totally ignores everything I try and do to make him stop this, he could care less!!! When we move, Mia will have to stay in the house, and I really don't want to have her locked in a room. (Can't lock Neko in one, last time I did he tore apart my room and pulled up my carpet)
So if anyone has any idea on how to make him stop attacking my baby girl I would really appreciate it, plus he is starting to teach Doku this bad behavior!
