Hello!
Generally all pretty harmonious with my 3 but lately Buddy's behaviour has changed. He is a sweet natured 2 year old ( neutered), quite juvenile for his age. He gets on well with freckles, 4yr old female and they enjoy quite a bit of rough and tumble, usually instigated and controlled by her even though she is teeny. Lately the play has gotten a bit too rough and yesterday he caused quite a gash on her back. He plays with me but has started to resort to biting me quite quickly ( but not my husband). He is also attacking our older girl although it does look like play fighting rather than agressive, but she hates it and he is too rough. He has enough stimulation ( outdoor country cats), he seems very well, he never hisses or shows agression in other ways.
He is my first boy cat so not sure if this is normal as he becomes an adult? I just read the post about hangry cats and it has crossed my mind but don't want to feed him when he is like this in case it is linked to reward. He is constantly wanting food and is a big cat but a good weight, any more food and he gains weight quickly, he is pretty sloth like compared to Freckles.
Any suggestions on the change? Normal or not so much?
