I got an 8 week old kitten named pumpernickel 2 and a half wks ago. Ive done the introductions. Boots is a male amd 11 and buck is a male and 8. They warmed up to her when i finally got the introduction successful but now pumpernickel is very rude to them and bosses them around. Shes now 10 wks old and not declawed (i would never declaw.) The older guys are adopted and both declawed. So anyways, pumpernickel jumps up on the dresser when i feed the two older guys and hisses, swats, and they both leave and let her steal their food. They are now all fed seperately at the same times. She also will jump on my bed at night and kick the guys off and lay next to me when boots usually does that and buck lays on his bed next to my bed. Pumpernickel wont even let either of them in the same room as me when i sleep. And they just submit to this tiny girl. Theyre both huge cats and shes tiny. She also is getting to play with me too rough. I put her in her room i designated a safe room 2 wks ago for a couple hrs today bcuz she went after boots and he ran away from her. I dont get it. Is it because shes not declawed and they are? Or because shes a female and kitten? I just feel , especially doing college in jan. (Chinese medicine) Anyways, how can i stop Pumpernickel from doing this? My grandpa, whos a big cat person told me i need to discourage the behavior or she will try and get bossy with me. Idk how. Do i raise my voice with her? Do i let the cats sort out their own issues?
