I would welcome suggestions here. My daughter has two lovely gentle rescue females - playful and loving.
Her problem is that six months ago she took in a young Korat pedigree male from a previous owner who couldn't cope with him. They are similar to Siamese but silver grey with green eyes. He is beautiful. But also an utter monster. He attacks the females shamefully - they spend much of their time hiding on neighbours walls as he defends his territory.
Recently - he has started to act aggressively towards my daughter and her partner - jumping on their back and biting their necks.
As a dog and cat owner of many years - I think he is demonstrating classic male dominance (he is neutered). They have tried all the usual stuff - separating them, and also used feliway. Nothing works.
My last advice is to try scruffing - and I know how controversial this is....but I can't think of anything else. Basically - it is where the humans enact the behaviour of a mother - by holding the cat down gently by the scruff of its neck and saying no.
I've owned cats for 40 years and never seen such aggressive behaviour. There is no way they would ever abandoned a cat - but it is a serious problem in the household. Any thoughts?
