I have a 4 and a half year old female cat and a 3 years old male cat.
They have grown up together and the male one was introduced at 6 weeks to my female one who continued to nurse him for another week (She had kittens just before he arrived that were ready to leave home. Never again will I promised would I ever have to deal with those little runts
They were all over the place.
Anyway now she is sprayed and male is fixed too I am happy to have them play together, but when they do I have to tell my male cat off all the time.
Just to make things easier, I'll tell their names. Male is Stimpy and female is Alanta.
Anyway, when Stimpy was a kitten my female cat used to pin him down after he used hit and run tactics on her while bashing her face and legs.
When she caught him he rolled over on his back with his ears back and she put her paws on his belly to hold him down for about a minute.
But years down the road it seems she is doing the rolling now.......
When Stimpy chases her around the house he will not stop until he catches her and she rolls over, hissing, screaming and trying to get free. I have seen him and he puts his paws on her belly after she rolls over and actually bites right into the belly with his teeth and that's what makes her scream in pain and hiss.
What is he doing and what is she doing?!
Why does she roll over all the time if she knows he's going to bite into her and why is he so rough. Is this playing or just damn right bullying on his side? Is he trying to get revenge earlier for her trying to keep him in order? It was got to the point where whenever I see him chasing her I will tell him "NO" and he doesn't listen to me. He will not stop unless he gets his bite......
So I have to go up and manually stop him. This isn't so easy when I am living on my own and had broken my leg in an accident a while ago. I can't just get up and run over instantly and he won't even listen to me in the first place.
What can I do and what is going on.
