Two summers ago, Shere Khan and Dickon were fast friends. It was SK who first reached out to Little D and invited a scared, hissing walk-on kitten to join us at the front porch feed. They are nominally outside cats, but they often come inside.
SK is now three, while D is two. Seemingly, their fighting accelerated when Big D stopped backing down. They are each ten pounds or even more.
I have the new litter that I wanted and I now have seven cats. My two guys were both fixed on May 2 (and the girl is scheduled).
It's been over four weeks since their change in life, but I still cannot trust them together. SK and D are allowed supervised-only visitation. Each one will relax on the porch. If one rises and begins to walk away, the other will rise and follow. Slowly, then faster, faster, faster. The fur flies if I don't intervene.
I thought "the fix" would turn this behavior off. They are both more attached to me than ever. Can I expect continued improvement as time moves forward? Each makes a fine, lone house cat, but we don't want a full-time house cat.
