hello everyone,
As my male ragdoll kitten Benjamin gets bigger and stronger (he's 6 months 1 day and 8.5 pounds) my other cat Mila is starting to have a hard time with how he is playing with her (she's 9.8 pounds and 6 years old) he will jump up top of her and bit around Mila's neck. 99% of the time he will do this out of the blue when he is hyper. She is a very laided back cat and was never really playful after Smokey (her older brother) passed in March of this year.
Today I notice he was being rough with her and she actually hissed at him and it didn't faze him much. He got in a defensive stance then decided to pounce again...I ended up spraying him with water which made him run away.
I'm very concerned that he isn't playing anymore that he his just treating her as if she is his pray. If it is still playing, I'm worried that if he is hurting/ bothering her now that it will be worse once he is 2x the size of her. I need to know how to fix this behaviour because I do not want to separate them!
