We lost our dominant cat to cancer back in September, and we've had our new 1 1/2 yr old cat Sophie for six months now. At first she was a perfect addition and got along with 14 yr old Socks and 6 yr old Cocoa amazingly. After a month, however, she began to randomly attack Socks, leaving her with minor injuries and very shaken up. Socks and Cocoa are very passive, so I don't see how this could be a problem over who's the dominant cat. She practically worships Cocoa, though. Socks only has three legs and both Socks and Cocoa are declawed. Sophie isn't. Cocoa is going to live with my brother in one month, and I'm worried it will get worse then. We have no desire to get her declawed, but she will not tolerate the Softpaws. We just want her to stop the attacks. Should we try meds, and if so, what kind?
Thanks!
