Anyone got a clue whats going on here? A week ago, Star (half Siamese female , spayed, 9 months old) had a bit of a set too in the garden with a cat who lives two doors away (Billy, tabby, 5 years old spayed female), I heard it inside so went out and my other cat Squitten (Siamese spayed female 8 years old) jumped up and also went outside to see what was going on. Billy ran off at the sight of her (Billy & squitten don't get along, they have fought before) and star was OK (billys tail went "Squirrel" but stars wasn't)
About 5 minuets later, squitten is beating star up! shes never done that before, we've had star since she was tiny and squitten helped raise her, taught her to hunt, shared her garden & food with her, their a team.
Or so I thought, we've had a week of hell now, every time they see each other star starts growling and backing into a corner and squitten goes for her, we're having to keep them separated but we live in a small bungalow, its causing a lot of trouble, we also have a third cat whos now scared stiff of them both and just hides. Star is my partners cat and Squitten is mine so you can imagine the stress its putting on our relationship, she also has a history of bad behavior (piddling on beds and general spitefulness) but the last couple of years Squittens been wonderful so I don't understand why her behavior has suddenly changed.
We've had feliway diffusers in use since we got Star.
Anyone got any ideas? am kinda at my wits end & terrified i'm going to get asked to re home my beloved Squitten.
