Title: Aggression and weeing
Post by: Millies mum on April 28, 2011, 16:36:07 PM

Casper my Persian has started weeing on my sofa or floors and has also started being quite aggressive to the other male cats in the house he's chasing them around the house and jumping on them but he doesn't bother with the females, i'm totally confused to why he has started this behaviour and now my hubby is starting to complain about him  :( has anyone had this behaviour with their cats ???

Have you had him checked over at the vets? could be a urinary tact infection/cystitis.

Perhaps some Zylkene for him and some rescue remedy in the water and a feliway plug in we  use all of the above on occassion and have had good results

Apart from that perhaps putting him in one place for a while on his own to have some chill time - Gigi skye our forver foster from Sunny Harbour gets this and she then happily mixes for weeks but sometimes just wants some chill time without the others

Are your cats indoor only? Don't rule out him seeing something out of the window that makes him feel he has to assert his authority in the group. It can happen....

Definitely try Feliway.

Still fighting!!!
Casper goes out for 2hrs per night but my other 2 boys stay out all night in this warm weather, that's if they want to.I woke up to screaming this morning and clumps of furr on the carpet from Casper i'm not sure who he was fighting with as they had scarpered by the time i'd got out of bed  :'(

Cat flap or you let them in and out? Reason I'm asking is, other folks cats wander in through standard cat flaps if your home seems appealing. ;) (We had quite a few do it that's why we ended up having to sort a microchip cat flap out!!)

Have you got any feliway yet?

Get some Zylkene from the vet and give everyone some on their wet food whilst the Feliway is kicking in and some RR in the water also maybe some catnip parties may help :hug:
