interesting.
I dont think I know my cats very well :/
I always thought Fred was more dominant cos hes more of a lap cat. Norman (his brother) is way more needy and vocal but usually flops just out of reach.
Norman usually instigates. Freddie d0esnt really like it but can y9lerate it for a bit. Theyve been a bit worse recently. We are staying with my cousin et partner and im at the top.of the house and they dont come to me at all. Fred has dermitits again and is spendig a lot of time avpiding the house or in his litter tray.
They dont cuddle up together anymore.
Theyre still lovely to each other outside its just inside.
TBH tberes a lot of depression in tbis house... maybe its that... my poor babies!
Whats the book???
Friends had a similar problem and consulted a cat psychologist. When two cats in one dwelling are enemies, the aggressor needs two or three litter trays. If there are cat flaps, each cat needs its own one. It's all about territory and smells. James wants dominance. He might compromise if he has more than Higgs, but he might not settle down until their zones are fully separated.
Sunshine eventually kills even the worst cat piss smell. If bleach and so on don't work, just leave the doormat outside for a few weeks.
