Just wondering if it was a good idea to punish aggressive behaviour in my cats? From what I can tell, it looks like they're trying to establish dominance, but neither of them is willing to back down. My mother maintains that they're going to fight anyway, and why bother trying to stop it, I maintain it shouldn't happen and I'm trying to get them to associate fighting with a bad experience. I've been trying the spray bottle, and I just recently pulled out the shake can (man do they not like THAT one!!
). I realise I can't correct them when I'm not home, but every little bit helps, right?
It's mostly the male that goes after the female, but she's gotten a few good pounces in herself. I'm not worried about them hurting each other, I just wish they'd get along better....
