I'm a total cat person! I think if it ever came down to it, and if for some bizarro reason I was only allowed one kind of pet, it would be a cat.
My two cats leave Bitsy alone. Bitsy on the other hand loves to chase them and chew their ears. Bitsy is getting better in that she's chasing them less...
I think the cat you're watching might be bored and that's why he's stalking poor Layla. I would try the water bottle squirting everytime he stalks Layla. He'll come to associate stalking Layla with being squirted and hopefully he'll stop. I would also suggest you give the cat some stalking time with a toy for maybe 20 minutes a day. You can use a string, a teaser or a laser light. Maybe if he gets to stalk something other than Layla, he'll be less inclined to stalk her.
Good luck! |
