Hi,
I have 2 Bengals, 1 Female who is 19 months old and 1 male that is 14 months old. I had the Female for about 5 months before I got the Male and she wasn't too impressed with the new edition when she first saw him, tho after about 2 weeks and a lot of chasing and a very cold winter they grew to like each other and would sleep together. Now though they seem to hate each other and there play fighting often ends with Prissy hissing and growling at Rizzla who seems to want to keep fighting. Prissy also gets very jealous when I pet Rizzla and Rizzla seem nervous when being petted and Prissy is around. Now Rizzla is sleeping in the lounge most nights rather than his basket in my room. And I feel that he is becoming more aloof.
Prissy was the biggest of her litter and is used to bullying other cats around, she is very headstrong and doesn't seem to get phased by much, where as Rizzla is much more skittish - sometimes he wont let you near him. How can I get them to get along and Rizzla to relax?!
