Title: Helping them to be friends...having issues...
Post by: Corporal Smokey on August 23, 2010, 17:25:39 PM
I suspect my darling new British boy to be a 'mese in disguise. In fact if anyone knows about these pedigree type thingies would a bsh have been bred with a 'mese at any point to create the red-point bsh? It would explain a lot to be honest...

Anyhow I have a lovely, charming, vocal, naughty cat who has now come out of his shell and a cheeky, scampish persian. They got through the initial friend-making phase with flying colours.

We're now about two months in and they keep pouncing on each other. Occasionally it sounds a bit scary but most of the time it's just a loud miow or two and the odd hiss.

I'm all Feliwayd up and have more toys on the go than PAH. Any other ideas to help my quest for harmony?

Lord Chester's pic once again...y'know just in case ya needs to look and check his pedigree   ;) ....

depends on whether they are enjoying pouncing on each other  :shify:

Tiffany complains very loudly when Tosker pounces on her, yet I notice she keeps going back for more of the same :sneaky:

Sasa goes to Misa to get her head licked and if she pushes too hard they have a wopping contest with Sasa rolling onto her back eventually. Misa will also ambush her when she walks past but its all very harmless and they arre just playing  ;D

I suspect unless they have claws out and are really fighting they are playing and having fun but you are the only one who can see them.

I just love the Lord  ;D

I s'pose they could just be playing. They do do the wiggly-bottom pouncy thing and Chester will attack anything (playfully) that comes within about 2 feet of him. I've only seen blood once when Smoo took a swipe of Chester's nose and gave him a bit of a scratch. We've trimmed their claws so they can't do too much damage but it is quite scary when they disappear in a red-point-blue cloud of fluff  :doh:
