 Please Help with Toby and his Arch-Enemy Mali!!!!
Ok all,
I have brought this up before, but things haven't changed yet so I am going to ask again.
Toby has a cat named Mali. She is a full grown cat and she has been declawed on all 4 paws, so she cannot hurt Toby in anyway. Toby thinks that she is his chew toy. (to say the least) They start out by playing, play biting and jumping around one another, and then Toby will get really mad at her for holding him down and start growling and biting her with all his might. When he does this she literally SCREAMS. He has dragged her across the kitchen floor by her ear many times--and he is all of 4 pds, if that--. He is only this way with her, and he is an angel to everyone else. I have tried yelling, and the water bottle, and now I am trying a rolled up piece of printer paper. It's nothin that would hurt him or anything, but still he continues. Mali has ended up with sores all over her head from this, and I feel so bad for her. I really need for this to stop, because it is cruel for us to let her to be continually badgered all the time. If we cannot get this under control, we will have to make some hard decisions.
The only place that she can go that he cannot get up on is the bed. But I don't leave my bedroom door open when I go to work, because Toby is still potty training. If I leave her in there all day she will use the bathroom in there, because we have already tried this.
Please someone HELP! |
