Hey everyone,
I have a number of cats, but today lets focus on 3 - Loki (a male main coon about 7), Bo (a male generic about 5) and Saffron (a female generic about 5 or 6). All of them are fixed and have been since they were kittens,
Loki does not like Saffron and will go after her and she defends herself, but she is never an aggressor.
Loki used to tolerate Bo, but no goes after him. This morning he went after him particularly viscously. He will sometimes defend himself, but he mostly runs to a safe spot. Loki doesn't come upstairs a lot, but he did last night and really got into it, I was concerned one of them might have gotten hurt, it was that violent.
Loki also sprays, everywhere.
Aside from starting to become sleep deprived, I'm not sure what to do here.
Nothing has appreciably changed in the last 2 years (when we inherited a dog). We have the scent sprays you plug into the wall outlets, but they don't seem effective anymore. We don't have a rooms we can separate anyone and lock them away from each other and it's not like they are new to each other...they've tolerate each other for years now.
So does anyone have any thoughts or ideas?
I thought maybe a calming collar for Loki, but I'm always hesitent to use scent collars on an animal...
