Any cat experts in here?

Thanks for the info!

She could also have some tooth issues.

I also learned that cats don't like their whiskers touching the insides of bowls and it can actually cause them real discomfort. I use a flat plate.

Yes, by all means, spray your cat with water...

Fuck



Is this the best humans can do?

I do have food in two separate places, in separate rooms even. But whenever the sweet one goes to one, the bully will follow and take over. Not all the time, but a lot.

Would 2 boy cats have this problem? OR is it just with female cats?

I’m sort of an amateur Gynecologist, does that count?

They don’t get fat when neutered, unless you overfeed them.
You know you have to rehouse the “bully” cat already. Don’t wait any longer or you’ll find yourself really disliking it more each day.
The sweet one doesn’t deserve to be living with constant anxiety, and prolonged exposure to such an environment can permanently imprint and impair its own behavior. Get her neutered anyway, don’t wait as neutering is more traumatic the bigger and older the cat gets.

They are both Siamese, so have the same hair.

Sigh, I wish I had just taken the meek one now. I hope its' not too late. She seems mostly peaceful, but the hair shedding and she is so much skinnier than the bully.

my cats a brother and sister had it bad. I thought it was cute mostly cos both cats were equally matched - hair and nick nacks would fly and then it would settle down. I do have to give them equal quality time with pets. or they know one got more attention. they are always in this cute sibling rivalry pattern. for me, I am ok with it but one cat is not killing the other.

Thanks for the advice. My house is a literal cat paradise, with cats trees, high places and endless toys. But I will make a note that my meek cat might be in danger outside without and enclosure.

1. Never keep an intact cat indoors unless you're a dedicated breeder.

2. Yes, it will calm them down, no doubt.

3. All cats get fat when they're overfed. YOU control the feed amount, right? If they start putting on weight, which they nearly all do after 6 years old, you control the amount they eat so they stay at a healthy weight.

4 You equate spaying with menopause?!

Fuck

Gotta go now, have a nice day.

two boys would be a disaster unless neutered very young.. obtw

Yep small water toy squirter pistal.

I notice those female cats don't like other female catsno matter the age.
I guess you op have to be boss or separate them at feeding time.

I bought home 2yr old female cat other female didn't approve few weeks later she ran away came back twice never saw her again.
Maybe small dog to stir the pot keep them both on their toes.

Seems you have real breed's try email a breeder or go chat to a vet in town.

Makes you wonder about cat woman with so many and how do the cat's all get along.
All the best my cat of 10 yrs is not well as of lately I don't think she will last much longer.

Oh ok, so 2 female cats is not good generally? Thanks for sharing. Sorry to hear about your 10 year old cat.

Try cat nip lol..
That may bond them I would keep a plant indoor. You can well here now buy it at supermarket in pet isle dried though.

Yes, and worse. If unfixed two male brother cats would potentially fight to the death if a female were in heat nearby.

In all seriousness, you will use that water gun only a few times then after that, even you just moving towards it in times of need will slow that cats roll. I didn't know female cats hated all cats I thought it was mostly the other cat on her but she is a real b8tch sometimes … mine are the best behaved cats ever and water gun trained however I used a super soaker .. sometimes, ok. it was needed!

I'm not a cat expert, but I play one on the Internet. How may I help you?

Thanks for the idea, but they both tear up house plants, and hate catnip

Well people kept telling me to get 2 cats together so they wouldn't be lonely lol sounds like human projection

Get them both spayed. You can have it done low cost at many animal shelters. Take them in early in the morning, pick them up in the evening. Keep the little bonnets on their heads for a week or so until the tiny stitches dissolve. The little bonnets change the balance of power and makes them equal again. The spaying takes away their natural female protecting the nest, so to speak.

Seriously. Before you split them up which would traumatize them both, have them spayed the same day. They are usually on their feet and acting as if nothing happened within hours.

I have siblings, male and female, part siamese. Both fixed the same day. Neither one has gotten fat. They get along most of the time. Either one bullies the other at times. I just act like a mom and growl at them. Usually it works. If not, I chase them while growling. LOL

BTW, most kitties love wheat grass. It's easy to grow, usually a fresh batch a week. Cheap, easy to find on Amazon.

And the food issue, I supplement with boiled fresh chicken. Friskies canned, Iam's dry for treat, and a serving of the chicken. Try the fresh chicken for the little one, well for both so no jealousy.

Cats are just like people. They have their own personality and it appears you do have a Bully on your hands. If I were you I would rehome the Bully because as you mentioned, it stresses you out as well.

Some cats get on well together but on the whole they are solitary and territorial animals. Unfortunately 2 cats together does not always work and this sounds like the case.

If you really want to know what is going on install a survelliance camera so you can see what the Bully is up to.

If you do rehome the Bully make sure you advise the Shelter that it can be a bit of a bully and is probably best going into a home where it is the only cat.

Exactly this. (I used to breed Bengal cats)

Don't allow it. You know the big one is going to do it, so follow it and put a bowl over the little one's food. Be the parent. My boy tries that trick everyday. So this is a routine that has become almost comical.

Try feeding them in the same room so that they can each see that they each have the same food. Mine check to make sure. Really. LOL Just be ready to cover the little one's bowl.

Thanks for the info.

What if I gave them unseasoned rotisserie chicken?

That's a good idea, I should install a camera! Thanks

Thanks for the info! I will def look into getting wheat grass! And I will get them fixed same day.

I do that sometimes. Not the skin if it's seasoned. But the thigh and leg meat mostly. The aroma gets them for sure. I updated my post - suggesting you try feeding them in the same room - the kitchen maybe. Just be ready to cover the little one's bowl. You just have to be the parent and set the boundaries.
