Hey Guys, Thanks for taking the trouble to reply. For all the reasons I,ve mentioned before no actual contact has been made because I,ve not allowed. Cat certainly believes his own superiority and sees pup as a threat to his position. To-day I,m even trying putting the scent of pup,s pee and poop close up to him. It is very early days and, as I,ve said before there are no panics here since pup is being restricted to his area in the apt and this will continue until such time as all veterinary matters have been dealt with.
Anyway I will continue to look forward to any other suggestions.
On the question of declawing some on here may find one Vet,s opinion which is pretty much the concencus of opinion over here.
