I was reading more on your site, and looked up Alpha - where I got articles about different breeds. Does the breed matter? All of my cats were strays, but I got my boy, and more recently kitten off the street as babies - Mama on the other hand appeared to be between one and 2 years old when I brought her and kitten home. Her breed 'appears' to be straight Siamese I think and his is a typical American short hair with some kind of mix or genes that makes him really, really long, tall and heavy.

I'm having a heck of a problem with 2 of my 3 cats. I've been thinking it's that they're both trying to establish dominance, but now I see that they're really trying to keep and protect their own territories. (One question I still have though, is what to do when someone lays in the others territory - the girl does this to the boy allllll the time). So, my 21 lb baby boy was my first cat, and is very mellow. I took in a stray mama cat and disabled kitten. mama cat as soon as I gave her the two week space immediately started attacking the boy and has done so, and continues to do so every day. She's about 7 lbs by the way, but really vicious. She's really great with people however, although extraordinarily skittish. Both female and male love 1 and a half year old kitten. I know she attacks him because she's scared, and he tries really hard not to get in her way. But she tears him up pretty good whenever possible, and we spray them with water and make loud noises whenever they fight. He is large enough to defend himself, but I think this makes him more stressed - and I really don't know how to calm this situation. Another problem I have with her is that she poops by the front door - I bought a cat genie a little bit back and so they always have a clean litterbox. It doesn't seem to matter what I do to try to prevent her from pooping there, she still does. Anyway, this article helped me see that they each need their own territory, and maybe, none of the twain shall meet. I don't really know how to mark off a territory, so to speak, but will talk to my sweetheart about it and see what ideas he has. Anyway, sorry for the long email - this has been preying hard on my mind. Thanks so much - and your writing is excellent by the way. :) This is a great article.

Augh! WordPress is a lot more powerful. Which, in my case, means there are more ways for me to mess up... Thanks for letting me know.
