Teddy and my cat (Guiness) are constantly "playing" and then fighting. I have to keep them apart if I'm not supervising them because the fighting escalates so quickly. Guiness is 14lbs compared to Teddy @ 4 lbs. I have not yet been able to figure out why the play turns to fight so all I know to do is supervise them when they're together and ensure they can't get to each other when they're not supervised. It's frustrating and tense, I know! Time has helped a lot but I still wouldn't trust them in the same room without me being right there with them. I thought it was all Guiness but I have seen Teddy instigate things with nipping and I think there is an issue with dominance as well as jealousy. I can't help with any solutions apart from supervision but you do have my sympathy and understanding! |
