Hi all, looking for some advice.
I have a 1 and a half yr old male cat - desexed who has previously been a very lovely sweet cat. We got another cat 8 months ago, female also desexed about 10 months old. They have always gotten along, played together and tolerated each other very well. All of a sudden our male cat has become very aggressive towards the female cat, attacking her out of nowhere, staring across the room and growling at her and chasing her around the house very aggressively making horrible growling and hissing noises. It's very it of character for him to be acting this way and we feel very sorry for our female cat being treated this way. I must also mention that our male cat has a UTI atm that we are treating and has seen the vet last week for it. I did mention the aggression but she didn't really give us an answer. We also recently had a baby who's been home with us now for 4 weeks, the aggression probably started a 2 weeks after we brought the baby home. The vet asked if there were other cats around outside (our cats are indoors only) and yes there is, one or two cats that often walk pass the windows. The vet prescribed antibiotics for the UTI and told us to try feliway. We've had the feliway diffuser plugged in for a week now and haven't noticed any difference. If anything it's getting worse! Anyone have any ideas on what I could do to help the situation?
