Hello - I really hope someone can help me. I have three male neutered (3 - 4 year old) cats. Within the past year, my little Blue Point Siamese, Isis, has started attacking my Oriental, Little My (who is 3 times his size). At first, they were just quick fights. Within the past 5 months, they have turned more vicious. Isis has given Little My actual puncture wounds in his back and on his tail. After 3 emergency visits to the vet, I'm at my wits end as to what I can do to stop this. My husband has had enough and wants to find a new home for Isis (as we have a baby on the way and can't put up with midnight fights with 2 cats rolling down the hallway screaming).

Isis usually corners Little My and lets out these terrible loud howls before he attacks. We've tried cat prozac (which upset him and caused him to foam at the mouth). We've punished him after a fight by putting him in a small room for 10 - 15 minutes only to let him out and have him attack Little My five minutes later. We've tried giving him extra attention. We've tried Rescue Remedy. Nothing has worked. We've even taken Isis to the vet for a check up and nothing is wrong with him.

Isis loves our other cat, Leelou. They groom each other and sleep together all the time. It's only Little My that he hates. Isis is perfect with guests and has never bit or scratched us. This only started within the past year, long after they were all neutered.

I'm presently looking for a home for Isis because I feel I have no other choice. I HATE the idea of getting rid of my kitty but don't know what else to do. We currently have Little My locked up in our spare bedroom/future nursery to save him from attacks. We can't do this much longer with the baby coming and we live in a condo so I have nowhere else to keep Little My seperated after the baby is born.

Does anyone have any suggestions or is finding a new home for Isis my only choice?

Please help!
