Hello
We found Chaplin (Ragdoll mix) in front of our house, and he was very skinny, and extremely dirty. We took him in our home, bathed him and fed him. After no luck finding an original owner, we took him to the Vet where he had an examination, along with current shots, and neutering. Since we had another cat at home, Watson who is a 2 yrs. old Maine Coon, we followed all the tips before introducing them. Things started out promising, as they were even sleeping with us in the same room at some points. But now Chaplin has begun to bully Watson. If Chaplin sees Watson leaving the bedroom, he will chase him back to his cat perch and many times take a little bite at his rear. Watson seemed to except Chaplin and trust him until he started playing too rough and attacking him, now Watson is very timid around him and Chaplin is taking advantage of that. We knew not to expect them to be best of friends right away, or maybe even ever, but we don't want there to be any bullying that keeps Watson from feeling comfortable to walk around the house like before. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
