Two of my 3 cats are brother and sister. They used to sometimes get a little rough when playing, but there was never any hissing or real aggression. I have a new roommate that rents 2 rooms in my garage, and he has 2 small dogs and 1 cat that has not been neutered. Since he has moved in my cat's are now aggressive with each other. I stopped allowing him to bring my cat's into the garage to play with his cat, because his cat had his ear hurt and now has cauliflower ear (I told him this would happen because his can't isn't fixed). He's upset because now his cat doesn't have a friend, whatever not my problem. I feel safety comes first.
The problem is now Sphinx chases Domino and jumps on her biting the back of the neck. This is more than just the playing they used to do (I understand cats play rough at times). Domino now hisses at Sphinx and swats at him (I stomp my feet, hiss, and chase them away from each other when this happens). Domino often looks uncomfortable and nervous around the house, when she never did before. I can tell she still loves her brother because she will still cuddle with him, and they clean each other daily. When she does she is very hesitant and looks nervous. Could having a male cat that's not fixed in my house causing my male cat that is fixed to be aggressive to my spayed female cat? How do I correct this behavior? Before there was a unfixed cat in my house I never had this problem with them. What can I do? I just want my cat's to be happy and loving again.
