Hi,
About 10 years ago we adopted 2 full blooded Bombay kittens. They are brother and sister. Before we could get them spayed and neutered, and was told that brother and sisters who lived together mature sexually much faster, they had a litter of 4 kittens, 2 boys and 2 girls. Well we felt it only fair to them that we keep them and then spayed and Neutered all of them after that.
Well, for the most part, they got along well, with the occasional dominance and territorial disputes. Lately however, with the mother and father being 11 and the kids being 9, they fight and hiss and wail at each other for hours and hours at night, every night.. This has been going on now for about 4 months and we have tried many remedies such as treats, feeding, distractions, playing, gentle calming, separation and some thing I do not like to do like water pistols etc...
Any suggestion on quelling this behavior would be greatly appreciated. It seems to always be one of the young girls that goes off at night whenever another cat is playing and or runs past her quickly.
Thank You for any help.
