I've looked through some of the threads on this but I think I still need help. Since Pippin has gotten bigger, she is a bit more aggressive around our cat, Putz. Putz is my daughter's cat that she left behind for us to raise. (Sound familiar to anyone?)

Well anyway, if I call to Putz or try to pet him, Pippin starts to nip at Putz. I correct Pippin but she will still do it. Sometimes I shoo Putz away from Pippin's food, and Pippin will take right after Putz when I do that. She doesn't mind if Putz eats her food or is around when she does. She doesn't have any food bowl issues. It is just when I interact with Putz. Also the other morning my husband was rubbing my back while I was on the floor and she took after him!!!

Pippin also plays rough with Putz, biting his ears, attacking for no reason. Has anyone else had these problems? Can you help me?
I appreciate any and all comments! Thanks!

I'm bumping this up hoping to get some help. A lot of people have looked but no one has commented.

I have three cats and Apple. We run into this problem with them also. sometimes it is cat on cat aggression and sometimes Apple on one of the cats. but we just squirt them with a water bottle to break up the fight. after a few squirts they go on their merry way and are fine in a few mins. maybe you can try squirting them to break it up. hope this helps.
