Why has my formally lovely cat become a bully?
Hi there, I have a couple of questions. I have four cats. Originally I had two, one boy, very healthy, big fat and lovely, the friendliest sweetest thing in the world. A girl (his sister), very poorly, had a genetic disease which meant she was too weak to be neutered without complications. Anyway, we went away and the person looking after her must have let her snuck out and she, to our surprise, gave birth to two kittens, which we kept because she loved them so much. Anyway – ever since these kittens have come along (6 mths old now) the boy has become HORRIBLE. He attacks them, and his sister, who he usually is lovely with, and he hisses and is stroppy, moody and sulky all the time. I miss my lovely happy boy! What can we do to change this situation?
Also, the two kittens, they scratch the hell out of us if we even attempt to pick them up. I so want lovely cuddly cats, what have we done wrong? They’re so naughty, they scratch when playing, they climb curtains, destroy things….it’s exhausting!
Hi there, thanks for your answer. The two kittens are booked in to be spayed, and the boy was done when he was six months, so thats all fine and good.
I haven’t heard of claw covers, and they were socialized as much as possible but I have to be honest, Poppy, the mum, she didn’t want us anywhere near them and would literally wail if we touched them right up until four months old, so we’ve had to do our best to have contact. We’ve played with them and they’ll come for strokes and sit on us, but they refuse to be picked up!
Except for the one, are ALL of the rest neutered/spayed? If not, get them done immediately!
Second, you need to be trimming the claws on everyone on a weekly basis. Or get the SoftPaws nail caps. How much socialization did the kittens have growing up. At their age, they should be well socialized. If they are not fixed, that is probably the main reason you are having behavior problems with everyone.

First thing is first, neuter him ASAP. Make sure they’re all spayed/neutered or you wil continue to have problems. Second, give them enough space and favorite spots and things to climb up on like bins or chairs with blankets or towels on them, etc so they won’t compete as much for space and their favorite spots. Third, keep small squirt bottles of cold water handy to break up fights. Forth, keep all cats’ nails trimmed so they cannot cause as much damage to one another. Fifth, it will take time. Don’t push your cats into cuddliness. I just brought a new male cat home and it’s also like I introduced a devil tornado into the mix. The constant fighting, the squalling matches(cats like to scream even if another cat looks at them cross-eyes, you’ll notice, and the squalling volume does not always match the crime..sometimes it’s overkill) , the fur flying. I neutered him at 5 months of age. They keep me awake, they fight, everything is turned upside down when I wake up and get home. BUT…..Good news, FINALLY he is starting to calm down a little. I’m noticing it. They mellow with age. Yours will, too. They have to figure out the heirarchy, which can change, and you’ll notice your kitten is harrassing another one which is similar to his own status or that he’s waiting to figure out that cat’s status. He probably won’t mess AS MUCH with the big boss cat, but then, you really do need to neuter him and everyone else in the mix. The fighting happens usually over territory, be it a favorite spot, a toy, etc. Never yell at your cats. Use "TSHH!" in conjunction with a good squirt when they fight too hard, then hide the bottle. Little fights let happen, the little scuffles, as long as their nails are short. But the major ones, break it up with the squirt bottle. Honestly, your cats will not get along at all unless they are all spayed and neutered. then it takes time for the hormones to settle down and also for the young male to mellow with age. My newest male is now almost 1 yr, and he’s still a hurricane, but he’s settling down slightly. He’s a biter as well, and I use the squirt bottle, one quick squirt in the face if he attacks my hands or legs and bites. He’s also teething, but my job is to teach him what is appropriate behavior with me. Think Cesar Milan style. It works with cats, too. Calm pack leader is what you need to be. Practice calm, confident disposition as the pack leader. They sense when you are upset or stressed. Consistency, too. Give every cat his/her own food dishes and litter boxes. Feed 2 meals daily then pick up what’s left after 10 minutes. No free feeding. Provide lots of toys, including small furry mouse toys, scratch posts and cardboard scratch ball thing, cat toys with feathers and stuff on the end of a fihing pole, a box for your cat to play in, etc. If you cannot play with one cat because the other is taking over the play, put the one or ones you want to play with in the room with you and the others in another room while you play. Like dogs, cats will go to war if they want the same toy, and like dogs, they will try to hog all the toys for themselves.

A cat needs to sharpen its claws by stripping off the old shell to reveal a new one. Scratching at furniture is one way a cat will renew its claws. All indoor cats will do this if they have not been trained on how to use a scratching post from an early age. It is also a way for the cat to exercise its claws and paws, and for scent-marking (there are scent glands under its front paws).
Show your cat how to use a scratching post, start training as soon as possible, so they will be less likely to damage a piece of your furniture. The secret is to show the cat what to do. Hold them near the post and scratch their claws on the surface. Putting Catnip in and around the scratching post will also help to encourage your cat to use it.
If you have more than one cat then you may find that the dominant cat will not use the scratching post and may need discouraging by using a spray bottle filled with water (use freah water only). This has the advantage of keeping the owner remote from the cat and the scene of the crime.
Quite simply, it involves squirting a jet of water at the cat with such force as to surprise and disconcert it, just at the time it is about to, or is actually, performing the behaviour pattern the owner wants to curb. It is very important that your cat does not associate you with the unpleasantness, as this can lead to a lack of trust, so make sure that you cannot be seen by your cat when using the spray bottle.
