Hi everyone,
I've posted here before regarding my adopted male kitten, Benji (5-6 months old) and my resident female cat, Bara (3 years old).
I've followed your advice about the introduction steps and everything worked perfectly...until recenty.
In the last few days Benji has started the habit on pouncing on Bara and grabbing her neck and he does this whenever she is sleeping or she's laying on the floor and being playful. She hates this and I can tell by her ears and her growling that she's scared. I try to distract Benji and we have playing sessions in the morning, noon and evening and they do get along when he's tired (Bara washes him), at least most of the time.
It must be really important to mention that BOTH are neutered.
My question is, is he just playing or he is trying to dominate or even attack her? If so, how can I stop it?? My boyfriend says it's only going to get worse since Benji knows that he can overpower Bara.
Thanks!
