Hi,

I don't know what to do. Last night my female cat all of a sudden attacked my other female cat and then went after me about three times. She's acting crazy, like she's possessed or something. You can't get anywhere near her or she goes after you. She's a indoor cat as well as my other cat. I have her in the cellar right now because I can't trust her. I tried to let her up this morning and the minute she saw the other cat she went crazy again. These 2 cats have lived together for 2 years now with no problems. What can I do? Both are calico's if that matters.

Something has happened which has upset the status quo in your household. Has any cat gone to the vet and returned recently. Have you moved any furniture, bought new furniture or gotten rid of any furniture? Is there a new person/child living in the household? Any other redecorating projects? Any other animals visiting? Any abrupt noises?

Good luck. Let us know what happens!

Smile, it will make them wonder what you are up to!

I have a 7 yr old male Bengal who started attacking my Abby of 17 years. They grew up together. However, I introduced a new kitten 9 months ago and the Bengal started marking the kittens sleeping areas, toys, etc. even though they play and sleep together just fine. The Bengal can get pretty high strung, especially when he's done playing with the kitten (who outweighs the Bengal by 2 pounds, LOL!)or after the window stalking of the squirrels who love to tease the cats. The Bengal chasing down and aggressively bites and wrestles with the 17 year old Abby. All the Abby did was walk by. I separate the two for the rest of the day and it seems to help, but it sounds like something/someone spooked your kitty and he needs time to be reassured that everything is OK. Try to keep them separated for a few days adn reintroduces them slowly and with lots of love and reassurances.
