Not gonna lie, it wasnt easy, and they still play-fight and play the dominance game occasionally but for the most part, my Bengal (Peanut) always snuggles up really close to Bailey when they are sleeping and for a long time followed him around everywhere - quite a switch from tearing bits of fur...

Sure, will have a think and post something on a new thread x

@bengalcatman I just wanted to say thank you for your advice, not just on this thread but others too, I read it all and with lots of time and patience, this is Bailey and Peanut now...Peanut and Bailey regularly lick each other and sleep together :-)

Thanks Bengalcatman, some very useful stuff, but I guess it will take a lot of time and patience. I was shocked at how much cat behaviourists cost but one said I would have no choice but to get rid of him. We have actually made massive progress in 3 days by making sure that we play with Peanut...

Well mine sleeps, plays with his toys briefly, and goes for random patrols around the garden and the neighbourhood. Also depends on how cold it is. In the summer he is out almost all the time. But this is why I think its wrong to keep cats in flats, the outdoors is how they keep themselves busy

Thank you. Yes, he has a lot of toys: stuffed animals, balls galore, a feather teaser, electric butterfly chaser toy which he loves, he loves playing with elastic bands, and access to the outdoors so we definitely keep him stimulated as Bengals are high energy and highly intelligent. I will...

Thanks, I did read the sweet cat with redirected aggression but it sounds like a very different problem, Peanut is not so bad that he would ever need to be put down. When he was at my boyfriend's house, he was perfectly fine so the final solution would be to find him a home where he could be the...

Oh, should have mentioned that Peanut is a male Bengal. Its not the first time I had a Bengal and I have successfully introduced cats many times before, this is the first time I am having such a serious issue :-(

I have 3 existing cats: 1 large male Bengal/tabby mix (Bailey), a little black short haired female (Ariel), and a ginger tabby male (Oliver) who is really just a stray that has slowly moved in. I got Peanut after he was recently neutered, he was an ex-breeding cat, and a timid little thing who...

Hi! I have this gorgeous beige tabby who LOVES people and usually go to anyone but he reeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaally hates my new housemate. We always joke that he is a bit of a ***** the way he will just be all over people :-) But with this guy, it is the complete opposite, and I have never seen him...

These links are amazing. Thank you!

Well, I took him to a different vet and he thinks its an allergy, put him on steroids and after 1 day, he is already looking a lot better so fingers crossed it clears up. Thanks for the tip!

Nope

No, they didnt mention that, they seem to be rushing straight into expensive biopsies. I have been to 2 separate vets as well, have another appointment on Tuesday 

Ooh, another possibly important bit of info, before this all started, he had terribly bad breath I just remembered!
