Hello everyone!
I've been reading many of the posts and have found a lot of the information to be soo helpful. A thank you to all who have posted about "interesting" behaviour from their cats.
I have a 6 yo Bengal male and a 3 yo Norwegian Forest Cat female.
My girl was sick with a sinus infection and then a UTI and about a week after she was feeling better she started to attack the male.
Hissing and growling. Very much NOT like herself.
My Bengal is wild, and this started three weeks of him going ballistic any time she showed anger towards him.
The result has been violent fighting and stressed out kitties. They are now kept apart.
I researched and found the stress sprays, collars, feliway plug-ins and homeopathic stress relief drops. These are not working.
I contacted our vet and he prescribed the ear application of Prozac. I will be starting this next week when it arrives.
What do you all think about using anti-depressants/anti-anxiety medications?
Can they (should they even) be used long term?
Is there any hope for my two cats to become friends again?
Thank you for any advice!
