Thread: Two fixed males still fighting, MC starts it!

How weird my Merlyn wanted to be top cat & he was not very good at his job,far too rough approach & I am sure that is what your Merlin is trying to be,I know you are in a confined area but any chance of being able to split the gang when Merl goes on the prowl if possible put Sampson somewhere quiet out of the way....... this is the one time when I have found using my water spray comes in handy because if you shout it seems to heighten the tension especially when there is a few furries but a well aimed squirt at the aggressor has always let us keep the upper hand in this household,the first couple of times they get a strong NO just before I squirt but after that no verbal at all just the spray it wasn't long before the whole lot appreciated what hand out towards spray meant & mostly now do not have to resort to even picking it up but if ever necessary it does still get used......
We are still having problems with Ruby accepting Billy & she will give out these high pitched screams sometimes if he even just appears round the corner that in turn was hyping Bruce who would then attack Shimba but after a couple of wettings she has learnt to tone down the verbals & Bruce also quickly found out it wasn't an option attacking one of the others...... life will become calm again I am sure we have had these episodes before it is just finding the switch that works best to produce it,with us the feliway etc route was a nightmare which in a way quite pleased as tap water is a lot cheaper........xxx

Jackie, I love the water bottle for traning cats and dogs. It is cheap and easy and no one ever died from getting a little water in their face! I was using it for Ginger when she would wake me up by scratching at the bedroom door frame. She wised up fast and moved down the hall to another door frame that I could not see from bed! She is such a smart little monster. Now if the dogs see me pick up the water bottle, they will jump over each other to get away from me! You would think I have acid in it, too funny such drama queens.
