thanks! they have really taken to each other! We're very lucky!

Hey! I have the exact same issue with my cat. He eats my hair as well as anything else he can manage to chew enough to eat including but not limited to: -plastic wrappers (he shat out a piece plastic the size of a 2 dollar bills the other day...HOW THOUGH!? lol) -dry wall pieces (this is a new...

Sorry! I don't know how I attached the same image 3 times. Apologies!

Hey! Just wanted to leave an update in case anyone is interested! a few weeks later and the kitties are friends now! We call "New Kitty" Churro now ;P Jalapeno still annoys Churro a lot but she puts him in his place when needed (it's actually adorable because she growls at him and gets really...

lol love that name!

thank you for the advice!

lol! I love your title for him...it's purrfect! Maybe we should make that his official name! I love "Waffles" too! That's adorable. It helps to know that other cat owners have seen similar behavior.

Good point! That makes a lot of sense!

Also, I should say that sometimes she does try to hide under things when she's had enough. Usually, we can tell when this happens because she growls and ignores his attempts to play. He doesn't relent though and will squeeze his bigger body into any space to try to get to her. He is determined...

Thank you for your reassurance and input! Sometimes, she is not really able to eat or rest in peace with him around though I have seen them share a food bowl very harmoniously once or twice when Jalapeno is calm and hungry enough. We will make sure to continue to remove him at times for her to...

Awww I'm so sorry to hear that! In that case, can you rearrange the room so that she has less places to hide where she is just cowering in the dark? This can perpetuate feelings of fear over long periods. Maybe move furniture from the wall? I would try putting another sibling in with her and...

Also, I'm relieved you say this. He is not drawing blood. She seems a bit freaked out and annoyed but not hurt physically. He ignores all other toys when she is around. She is his ultimate toy in his opinion- poor thing!

Hi! Thanks so much for answering! And thank you- he is a spicy kitty so it fits! lol We actually already tried all the techniques in the article. The only one that sometimes works is a "time out" for him to calm down for a second or throwing a toy and he'll maybe run after it (though 30 seconds...

Don't worry! She can definitely change/be helped. One thing you may want to do is when you put her food down, bring in a book to read or something quiet to do and just sit somewhere in the room. She may come out and start eating eventually (it could take a long time- hence the quiet activity)...

I think the fact that you have been giving into this for so long explains why he keeps doing it (my kitten used to do this and we still does sometime- we ignore him and he has mostly stopped). It may be very hard, but you might have to stop getting up and him and instead, see if you can leave...
