Thread: Fighting :(

The feliway can be very helpful as it mimics the feline pheneomones which in turn is supposed to help the cat relax into its surroundings although it had opposite effect on one of mine when we tried using it to ease the effect of daughters two MC's having to come into the household....
You very often need to use it for up to a month to see any difference & this time of the year I think it is a bit harder as you tend to open the house up more with the warmer weather{said with tongue in cheek}if you keep everywhere closed then go for it,has Sookie been spayed ? As for the biting & nipping if he has always been like that then it is going to take a while to teach him it is wrong as all nasty habits do when they have took hold,did he used to get over stimulated & excited in play when you first had him which does encourage them to be more nippy,exactly the same with pups,if so you really have got to go right back to basics & start again,tell the children that if they are playing with him & he starts to wind up then tell him no & walk away,never look him straight in the face & challenge him,MC's as a whole are pretty laid back & learn quickly but like everything you can get a rogue one but normally that ties in with something that has happened earlier in life,why not have a quick word with the breeder,she will know his breeding line & might be able to help you because no good breeder would want to think either you or one of her babes is having a problem,I know I relied a lot on my breeding friend in the early days & still have the occasion too 10 years on....

Just read your first post again,don't know about the early biting still think that is a bad habit that needs breaking but how you say he suddenly attacked her while feeding does sound like the hormonal side of things,being on top of her & biting her ear goes along with the mating ritual so don't know if he could have anything to help,might be worth phoning your vets to ask,Merlyn used to pounce on our flat chested girl at this time of the year & 8kg as he was then on top of two didn't work so I used to have him on Ovarid for spells to stop him but luckily he soon outgrew thinking he was still capable of doing the job so really seems as if you might have two problems ongoing here,one bad habits & another raging hormones that he still thinks he has..!
