As soon as he starts with the cat, grab him and put him in a room by himself ... don't let him stay in a room with you or the cat. Only leave him in there for a few minutes. Let him out and if he does it again, grab him and put him in time out again. Just be consistent. Hopefully, he will learn that the behavior is not acceptable. This has worked for me in many different instances.

I also continue to praise Sophie Kate, when the cat walks by and she ignores him. She loves the praise more than she loved the cat chase. For the safety of your cat, you don't have time to start with "leave it". You need to make this an absolute "NO" and can't wait on reward methods to work. In this case, the reward can be, not getting time out, or squirted.

Excellent addition.....heaping praise on them is an absolute for this! They love it and they really DO learn quickly. We just have to be very consistent.

| Do you have a 'safe' room for your cat to escape to while you do more training? I have a board across my daughters bedroom doorway. Its just high enough so my cat can jump over it, but molly can't! This means that if Molly gives chase, Mitzi can escape to the bedroom and sit the other side looking smug! We had some problems when i first adopted Molly, but things are much calmer now they both have their own space. My cat can go anywhere in the house if she wants to, because she was here first. Molly soon accepted that she doesnt go into my daughters room.
