fighting cats and dogs
I have the same problem with our youngest cat ( 2yrs old ) i never know when she'll take it into her head to go after our bully ( victoria who is 9 months ) , sometimes she'll rub abainst her and be so sweet and i think that she's finally figured it out, that she can't antagonize the dog, then the next time, she'll walk up to the dog and sink her claws into her face ! My husband told me last night while i was at work that the cat did it again, and sunk her claws into Victora and he thought for sure it was going to a dead cat, he managed to keep the dog from attacking the cat, pulled the claw out and locked the cat in the bedroom.( If i'm at home and see this happen, i give the cat a swat on the butt, tell her she's " BAD CAT !" and separate them. ) Sometimes it's like having a pair of bratty kids, and they have to be put in " time out " , the bad one goes into a " time out " room with a swat on the back side. So far the bully has decided to let the cat live, don't know why though... She's more than willing to take on our 2 year old doberman and it's gotten to the point where whe had to put in a half door in the kitchen to separate them all the time... we have to rotate them, can't let them in the same room for anything...
