We have a 5 year old female cat and a 1 year old male. Both neutered (is that the word for femalea too? Haha). The male has always been quite aggressive and when they play (“fight” play, wrestling) he suddenly turns aggressive with his ears back and she then starts to miauw loudly, then she runs and he jumps on her and she screams and yells.
I have adopted my girl over 2 years ago and she means the world to me. It hurts my feelings to hear and see her like that and this is never what I intended for her. My emotions get a bit out of control sometimes. Since we neutered him it’s been less but it still happens almost at least once every day.
Today he treated her like a kickeroo. He kept on attacking her nomatter how many times I pulled him off and auddenly he grabbed her and she was in his arms with her back to him. He then started to scratch/kick her with his backpaws while holding her to him with his front paws. I know this hurts since they both have midly done this to me in bad moods. Her hair was everywhere. I grabbed him and he was squeeling and making noises while I carried him to the hall and then she attacked my leg! She grabbed my leg and bit me (not very hard at all) and it was as if she wanted to protect him eventho he just hurt her.
I am confused!?
Some people say let then fight it out but it gets way too rough and she’s way smaller than him and has unirary stress problems. What to do and what did it mean that she bit me? To protect him eventho he attacked her?
