Question
I have one female seal point and one female blue point(both are spade). I also have a male seal point(neutered)who bullies mostly the blue point but has attitude with the female seal point.There is some spraying going on(I have 2 fairamones/sp? dispensers activated constantly)This situation is 3 years old. All are house cats. What can I do to resolve this delimna?
Tom,
As this has been going on for 3 years, I suspect there is nothing you can do. Sometimes, some cats just do not get along the way we would want them to. Cat inter-relationships are fairly complicated and we mere humans just do not understand them. So, I suspect all three cats are comfortable with their roles with respect to each other.
As for the spraying, I would check that there is not a urinary tract problem going on with the one who is spraying (and are you sure you know which one that is?). In addition, anywhere anyone has sprayed, I would clean it up with an enzyme based cleaner specifically pet stains and pet odors. There is a new pet odor cleaning product on the market called Fizzion (I think) that you might also want to try.
I am sorry I cannot give you better suggestions, but this has been going on for quite some time.
Best regards... Norm.
