| Jealousy!!! I've looked through some of the threads on this but I think I still need help. Since Pippin has gotten bigger, she is a bit more aggressive around our cat, Putz. Putz is my daughter's cat that she left behind for us to raise. (Sound familiar to anyone?) Well anyway, if I call to Putz or try to pet him, Pippin starts to nip at Putz. I correct Pippin but she will still do it. Sometimes I shoo Putz away from Pippin's food, and Pippin will take right after Putz when I do that. She doesn't mind if Putz eats her food or is around when she does. She doesn't have any food bowl issues. It is just when I interact with Putz. Also the other morning my husband was rubbing my back while I was on the floor and she took after him!!! Pippin also plays rough with Putz, biting his ears, attacking for no reason. Has anyone else had these problems? Can you help me? I appreciate any and all comments! Thanks!

| I have three cats and Apple. We run into this problem with them also. sometimes it is cat on cat aggression and sometimes Apple on one of the cats. but we just squirt them with a water bottle to break up the fight. after a few squirts they go on their merry way and are fine in a few mins. maybe you can try squirting them to break it up. hope this helps.

| jealous yorkies My yorkie is jealous of everything and everyone. He won't let me pet any other dogs, hates the parakeets and goes crazy every time I try to feed them I(one got out one night - I was given a dead bird in the morning, evidently to play). Sargie even has to stick his nose in if a human shows me affection (although he doesn't attack humans). If I pick up a pillow, a stuffed animal, a toy, and talk to it ("I love you, pillow!" -wanted to see what he'd do) he barks and tries to break it up. Spraying the water will deter him from most things, but not the birds. If you find anything that works, let me know! |

Thor's Human Donating Member | There was a recent "It's Me or the Dog" about this. It wasn't quite the same, but the dog was really into the cat, and wouldn't back off until the cat smacked him with her claws. I am pretty sure they just used re-training. They brought the cat and dog into the same room, corrected the dog for bad behavior and rewarded him for good. Maybe try doing this for 15 minutes a day for a week and see if it improves?

Thor's Human Donating Member | micc1, your stuff sounds like resource guarding. Are you familiar with that? He may also believe he's the boss of you and that you should listen to his commands. Again, this should be correctible with basic re-training. Why don't you try googling "resource guarding" and see what you come up with? "I love you, pillow." Hee!

| Absolutely your dog is getting jealous .... esp if this cat is new to your family You're asking your dog who has had you all to itself for all this time to now share your attention What you need to do is make your dog understand that it's in his best interest to like you giving attention to your cat What you can do is pick up your cat and pet her .... When your dog comes over in a nice calm voice tell him what a good boy he is and give him a treat Keep giving him treats from time to time during the session to keep his interest and soon he'll realize ... Hey this cat's not bad at all
