Hi all!
I know it has been a while since I've been on here, since I had the twins and all, but I need some help desperately. In May we took in a gorgeous male stray. He had sort of moved in on our deck. Took him to the vet and kept him in his own room, etc. We found out he had been neutered so we put up signs...nothing. Long story short...the girls (mainly Lucy) have not let up on their aggression. Belle and Daisy mostly just chase him a little or get into a swatting match. Lucy, however, will go out of her way to stalk him, chase him, swipe at him. We've tried feliway and squirt bottles. I'd try a labotomy on Lucy, but kitty ones aren't available. He is the absolute sweetest, most loving cat. But he won't defend himself! He runs, which in turn makes them chase him even more. It has been going on for 8 months. He barely leaves the kitchen and will sleep with us only if we bring him upstairs with us. He then stays there all night till we bring him down in the morning. Is it too late to do anything else? Please say it's not, because we just adore Oliver so much. BTW...no litterbox problems from him either. Thanks so much for listening...please help!
