So, it’s been a month now and my cat still attacks my kitten. Several times (if he’s biting her and not grooming her which he also does), she will squeak for him to stop. Often times he does. But every now and then it’s like her squeaks incense him to be even more aggressive, and he’ll go again at her a couple more times in small bursts until I come running and break them up. If he tries to stalk her again right after this I put him in the “cat room” with all supplies for a while until I feel he’s calmed down enough to ignore her. This usually works for the rest of the day.
What confuses me is this isn’t the only behavior he displays around her. 90% of the time he ignores her, and for the past two weeks I’ve caught them napping together. They’re doing it as I type! And he’s going to lay by her, not the other way around. Also, she’s not constantly afraid of him (unless he’s chasing her of course, but she will sometimes chase back).
They’re still not being left completely alone together. If we leave the house, the gate goes up.
Is this normal and acceptable behavior? Does anybody have a clue what my cats are thinkin? Lol I’m stumped. If a big scary cat was attacking me until I cried, I’d be scared all the time! But she seems to recover. And his behavior hasn’t changed from day 1; only become more predictable.
