 Get the cat's scent on Brody
With cats, they leave their scent on people and stuff to mark it as "theirs". I would rub the cat down with a towel (especially the face area where most of the phermones is, and close to the base of the tail) and then rub the towel on Brody so he can smell "safe" to your kitty. Hopefully, this will mark Brody as something kitty doesn't need to feel threatened by, or at least not as prey.
If that doesn't work, I would try the Feliway plugin which is a synthetic feline pheremones. The plugin looks like an air freshener plugin. This will release a scent to calm your cat down.
I used the Feliway when I brought home my second kitty and rubbed both of them with each other's scent. They adjusted to each other in less than 2 days and are the best of friends.
Now, with my puppy Bitsy, both cats look at her as something to be tolerated. They basically ignore her until she starts chasing them, then they just hiss and jump onto whatever is closest to get out of the way.
Hope that helps, and good luck! |
