I have 3 cats (was 4- see thread on "Divorce took one of my cats") and one of them (Beau- altered 3 1/2 year old male) mounts each of the other 2 cats and displays jealousy whenever one of the other cats is even close to getting attention. He comes into the room and "yells" a meow at the other cat and if the other cat doesn't walk away, he attempts to either drag the "offender" away by the scruff of the neck or he mounts the "offender".
If the "offender" walks away, Beau walks out of the room as well (as though he just wanted to make sure that if he isn't getting attention, then no one else will either). This isn't all the time, and he sleeps, grooms, eats, shares litterboxes etc with the other 2 with no problem.
Am I alone in seeing this? Is this a dominance problem? He doesn't spray or anything, nor does he inflict damage to furniture. He isn't agressive at all toward people- in fact he is extremely social.
Any ideas?
