I bought a 2 year old female Bengal and unknown to me at the time she was pregnant. A few weeks later I bought a 13 week old Bengal male. She was EXTREMELY aggressive toward him and would attack him any time she saw him. Once we realized she was pregnant we understood why.
That was several months ago. She had the kittens, they were all healthy and have been given away to good homes.
However, the female Bengal is still extremely aggressive to the male Bengal. He is so terrified of her that he will stay on the kitchen counter 24/7. He will pee and poop on the counter or in the kitchen sink.
I have even taken to keeping the female Bengal in the bathroom with her own litter box and water and food, but he is still afraid to come down from the counter, and whenever I let her out she goes straight for him and attacks him.
I just am at my wits end at what to do about this. Not only is the male Bengal using the kitchen sink for his litter box, but the female Bengal's behavior has not changed and she is still as aggressive as when she was pregnant and nursing her kittens. This has been going on for several weeks since the last kitten was given away.

Has anyone else had an experience close to this? What was the solution? I really don't want to have to get rid of the female Bengal, but I can't keep them separate for the rest of their lives.
Please help!
