So, I have two boys! George and Oscar, 5 and 3.5 respectively. They are both very rambunctious boys who have a lot of energy and love to play. George is definitely more energetic though, almost never ending energy lol
They met 2 or 2.5 months ago, we had a bit of a rough introduction but things are mostly smooth now. They do get along, and like to play together but George almost always takes it too far. I know they're having fun but George will either keep pouncing even after Oscar has tried to disengage or he'll bite too hard and upset Oscar. When this happens Oscar gets more vocal hissing and spitting, telling George to stop or that it hurt and George ignores him 80% of the time. Then it escalates and I have to get involved.
Is there NOTHING I can do to teach George manners? I wonder if he was under socialized as a kitten, or he's just stubborn. I know he means no harm, he just wants to play! He seems to be getting confused and frustrated by Oscar, especially because when Oscar vocalized that he's upset, I'm right there pulling George off.
My SO is beginning to think that Oscar does it for attention from me, like "oh look mom! ow!". Because sometimes I pull George off because I heard Oscar hiss and then Oscar comes right back and it happens again! I just want George to learn no means no lol
