I have three cats, all of which are my pride and joy. Two of these cats,(one male, one female) however, we adopted when they were abandoned by their previous "owner" at the foot of a University Biology office door with a note saying they could no longer take care of them. No further info was given with the exception of their names.
Lately, my male cat has been a really big problem. (Please note, it's 1:45 AM, and I have to get up at 4:45 AM every morning. Enough said?) He terrorizes both of my other cats at every opportunity, and is constantly managing to have me pulling my hair out for some reason or another.
My thinking, at this point, is that this is some form of an alpha-male situation, but it never ceases to end. Is there any way to curb this behavior? We have managed to learn that he is at least eleven years old- but can you teach an old cat new tricks?
I'm desperate for advise! Any ideas would be enormously appreciated!
Thanks!
