All of a Sudden - Chasing Cats Hi there, Tessa has been living with us for six weeks now. She initially ignored the cats or just touched noses with them - all was so good and they were comfortable around her and with sleeping on the same bed as her. She was equally as comfortable. Unfortunately, about a week ago she started chasing them when they approach me for pats or whatever. She will pass them by in the kitchen or den and not bother with any of them at all but, if they approach me, different story so I assume it is jealousy rearing its head on her part. Suggestions please.... as I feel very badly for my cats about this - they need their time with me also. All advice welcome and thanks so much in advance. |
Oh yeah I went through that and whenever Dutch tried to chase the cat away, I would quickly scoop her up and put her in the powder room for a timeout. After doing this a few times, she didn't do it (most of the time). She hated being in the powder room. I didn't yell at her or scold her. I just simply removed her for about 10 minutes. Whenever the cat wanted a little attention, Duchess would just give her the evil eye but she didn't chase her away. |

Thanks for this.. As I type this Tessa is in the downstairs bathroom having chased my Nina away when Nina thought she might like to get on my lap for some pats. Hope this works but I will do it every time and let you know! |
