i have a 19 yr old girl and i have a long term catsitting arrangement with my daughters 3 (? was a stray) year old boy
well the boy loves me to peices, which is sweet and all
but my old girl is sick (CRF/IBD and suspected cancer) and i am spending as much time with her as i can
however the boy is not pleased about this and is now attacking my old girl, in a playful way but she has no pateince for it and he only does it after i have been brushing or petting her, or when she is on her way over to me for attention
i give the boy as much attention as i can when my old girl is asleep but this has not stopped him from going after her
i would hate to have to isolate him but i am near the end of my patience now as well
my old girl is just TOO old to put up with this, it really upsets her
there are two other much younger cats for him to play with and they all get along great
but i have to get him to leave my old girl alone!!
any suggestions?
he will not be distracted, once he has it in his head that he is going to go after her and bat at her with his paws, nothing short of picking him up and moving him will stop him
he also attacks any cat in the litter box when he hears them scratching around in it
i am thinking this cat was taken from his mom and littermates way too early,
that he does not know better than to do the things he does
never had or heard of another cat with such bad manners!
i love him and he is a real sweetie most of the time
but on this one thing, i would like to throttle him!!
