hello guys me again, ive got a bit of an issue going on here. as you may no i have 3 kittens 2 boys(which are brothers ages about 5 and a half months) and one female (not part of the same family) about 5 months. the thing is whenever the girl gets food if any of the others go near her she will growl hiss and spit at them to get them away she never used to do this but lately shes being really funny about it and im a bit worried, although shes the girl my boys are really scared of her now lol what should i do?
-
The girls are always in charge :rofl: :rofl:
Have you tried moving the boys dishes away from hers cos it sounds like she is protecting her food ;D
-
yeah i will try that but also i know it sounds stupid and yeah i am ignorant for letting it happen but sometimes i let them finish off like left overs from my food (Stupid i know) but if they want to get some off her shell do her nut is this normal?
-
I have two young boys that absolutely adore each other and happily eat off the same plate or side by side but when I'm dishing out the Whiskas tempations (treats) they'll both hiss at each other! As long as all three are getting enough food then I wouldn't overly worry.
-
how old are they and have they been neutered? If she is entire, she may be reaching sexual maturity, or possibly one or both of the boys are ...
Otherwise, yes, the girls are always in charge, sometimes in a quiet way, other times more aggressively. Feed the boys separately and see how it goes.
-
yes i will do the boys are about 5 and a half months the girl 5 months ive arranged their jabs theyve had one each bt need to go back for a second and the pdsa said they wont neuter her til 6 months
-
am guessing that while they are entire you will continue to have this problem, cos they are adolescents and feeling their hormones!! :rofl:
-
yeah i guess so lol
