Hello everyone. I need to tell you first of all that I don't have much experience with cats at all so this is practically my first experience. This past Sunday, my husband went to the Humane Society and adopted two male cats. He chose them because they were the two that seem to be the friendliest towards him. We don't know much about these cats except that they are both males, approx 5 years old, neutered and both de-clawed (they came to the humane society that way - we all view de-clawing is wrong). Anyway, separately they are very loving, sweet cats. The problem is the smaller of the two cats is extremely hateful towards the other cat and has launched "surprise" attacks on him several times in the last few days. The other cat, though twice as big, is very "shy" and usually just runs away. When this happens, we've been putting the "bully" cat in our bedroom while the other cat remains in the rest of the house but we know we can't continue this way forever. We then try to bring him back out and as long as we watch him (24/7), he leaves the other cat alone but the minute our backs are turned, he's at it again.
My husband is ready to take the "bully" back to the shelter because he's making the other cat's life a living *ell. But, we really don't want to do that as, like I said before, he is a very loving cat - but only to people. Any suggestions would be more than welcomed.
