Thank you! Do you mind me asking for more information about what happened with your situation that didn't work out? I'm glad that your current pair are getting along now, that's so good to hear!I did try Prozac on a previous cat, for aggressio, on the vet's advice. I saw some small effect within the first week, and it was about 6 weeks to see the full effect. He did calm down, slept more. There was less aggression.
It did not solve my problem- my situation turned out to be unsolvable after a year of working with them and worse than what you are going through (sympathize with you!)- but the Prozac DID make a difference (just not enough for my two to be livable)- and Prozac kitty has a new home as the only cat and is happy as a clam.
The two I have now (in the avatar) get along. Waffles (older grey and white) will still make sure Mooshoo (black and white) knows he's boss with a smack or a swat, and it took about 4-5 months to settle.
I'm no expert but sounds like yours have made progress!
Things are still chugging along at our house. Dunlop decided to be a giant douche and lay/nap on the bed beside the litterbox Cocoa uses if he's feeling like being a super jerk. But, he will let Cocoa walk around if he's lying in the tower sometimes! He's been feeling a bit more crabby and charging at Cocoa or chasing him, but nothing super threatening. Last night, I heard yowling upstairs, and a minute later Dunlop came to find me with some of his torn out fur caught in his chest, so it seems like Cocoa is standing up for himself! (Don't worry, nobody actually gets hurt or breaks skin during these - our boys have always been fur rippers though)
Donatello will actually let Cocoa walk within 4 ft away from him on the floor, which is a huge breakthrough! There's also been a few times where Cocoa will be on the counter and Don and him will meow at each other in a friendly way!
