I have 3 cats all between 1-1 1/2 years old Mal, frank and Daf. Mal and frank, and frank and Daf get on really well. They play with each other, groom and sleep together. However, Daf seems to hate Mal and will hiss and attack him. Mal is clearly scared of Daf as he’ll try to avoid him and just cowers when attacked. Daf seems to attack him without provocation and I have seen him run across the room to hit Mal while he is asleep.
Why does he seem to attack him for no reason and what can we do to stop him??
background info:
We got Frank and Mal together as they got on well at the rescue centre. All was going really well but Frank went missing. We tried everything and eventually got him back after 5 months! In the mean time Mal seemed very lonely so we decided to get another cat while Frank was still missing in the the hope that we would have 3 in the end but at least Mal would have company if Frank didn’t come back.
We rushed introductions with Mal and Daf and there was hissing but we were trying to remedy this by separating them and starting again when Frank was found and came back.
Daf and Frank met by accident but apart from a hiss from Daf got on straight away! I hoped this would help Mal and Daf get on but if anything it seems to be worse.
