Welcome to YT. In February I took in a 13+ years old male. The lady I got him from had gotten him from a rescue 2 years ago with no history. I knew Nikki about 6 months when his mom had a stroke and couldn't keep him. When I brought him home he immediately became glued to my side. He sleeps partially on top of me. If any of my 3 girls approach me when he is next to me he goes for them especially one of mine. Fortunately he has no teeth so he can't hurt them but he is intimidating them. A soon as one of my girls start to come near me I can see Nikki tense up and stare at them intently. If left alone he will then attack them. Now at first sign of him tensing I tell him NO and put him on the floor. .That seems to break the tension.He has improved by 75% by doing this. He is fine when they are all together on the floor or if I am not around. It's so hard to know what to do when you have no idea what they have been through in their past life. This is my first rescue/rehome so I really have no experience. Hopefully some of our experienced rescuers will have some good ideas for you. Good luck and I am glad you aren't giving up on him. |
