We have a 2 year old cat (12 lbs) and Bailee plays/bites him(ears and head) very rough all the time. I think she is just wanting to play with him, but she ends up making him cry and he runs away. He has an escape over a short gate that she can't get over. I feel bad, he tries to keep her away with his paws, doesn't have claws so he really cant hurt her . A couple time he has gotten her back as I heard her cry.
Should I just let them battle it out? Last time I had this scenario , the dog was first and we got a kitten
Any advise appreciated !
