The first few fights when this started were fur flying, but no injuries I could see. I have been able to manage them better now to prevent those more intense fights from happening, but it feels like I’m constantly having to manage it which is exhausting. They do have some peace, if they are...

Hi all, This is very long and I apologize in advance. I am just looking for some support and any advice. I have posted previously about my two cats Theo and Eleanor and how they used to get along great but in the last few months have started fighting - with Theo stalking/following Eleanor...

No I haven’t! I was going to look into it - I don’t really understand the purpose or how it works?

I have been trying this, yes. For the most part he won’t pay attention to a toy when he gets like this - only a laser pointer will distract him, but I’ve read this can be problematic and it could cause him more frustration since he can’t catch it. I can sometimes just call him over to me and...

I just realized I already told you about the gaba event! But yeah. I’m just not sure it’s helping.

Hmm. Theo (the bully) had blood & urine checked and both came back fine. He is really bad about eating stuff he’s not supposed to - so I do sometimes wonder if he could have something that’s hurting his tummy, but he’s not having any gastrointestinal symptoms really. He’s an indoor cat and I...

I do feel like she “baits” him a little sometimes. She gets overly defensive (hissing/growling/swatting) when he gets near her - but only sometimes. And then I feel like she just ACTS so nervous and skittish around him that it like, triggers him to react even more aggressively. But she’ll then...

Hi! Theo had a vet visit last week and blood and urine were all clear. Eleanor went to the vet a few months ago and had blood work done and it was all normal. Her peeing/pooping seems normal right now too, though I suppose it couldn’t hurt to have her checked out too in case there is something...

yes - I am in a bit of a similar situation, but yours does sound unique with the added health issues. I’m sorry you’re dealing with that! My 2 cats (2yo male & 4yo female) have coexisted pretty peacefully for 2 years, but recently have begun fighting with the 2yo bullying/stalking the 4yo. I am...

Hi! I have posted about my cats Eleanor & Theodore before. They have lived well together for nearly 2 years but recently began fighting more intensely with Theo bullying Eleanor and her overreacting. I think the next step is going to be trying a complete reintroduction, but I just feel sort of...

Hi! I was just curious if this ever got better?

Oh interesting. I did not know that. We tried Prozac for my cat and he became constipated/didn’t pee for 24 hours. It may have been too high of a dose though.

That’s interesting, I don’t believe they did do a hormone check. What does that even entail? I’m glad to hear those cats were eventually able to taper off. My fear is that the gabapentin will only be useful when it’s given to him - meaning if I am late in giving him a dose or miss a dose he...

This is a VERY old post so I am guessing you won’t see this - but wondering how this turned out for you?

Thanks!

Hello! I have posted here recently about my cats Eleanor and Theodore. Theodore has had some behavior issues since I have had him (I got him as a kitten, he’s about 2.5 now) but lately has been more aggressive with Eleanor (4) and won’t back down when she hisses/growls at him. His issues...

An update - I got them a second bed which has been good, but there is still fighting. I took Theo to the vet but he appears healthy. Vet recommended trying gabapentin. I consulted with a behaviorist and she agreed to try the gabapentin but also that we may need to do a complete reintroduction. I...

Potentially, I’ll have to look at it again. My apartment is so small and weirdly laid out that it’s tough trying to find space for things that makes sense. I did order a cat tree that’s supposed to arrive tomorrow so we will have two high perches…but I am also nervous about putting it up in case...

Also an update: I put the bed away (other one is still on the way) and I thought things had improved until last night and tonight. Had a bunch of chasing/targeting Eleanor and some attacks - I separated them multiple times and even when I had to go to the grocery store I decided to keep them...

And theyve never had any injuries or anything? This definitely sounds like eleanor.
