i have a problem similar to the introduction dillemas, but as far as i know it is more complicated.
i have a cat that is about 4 months old. he recently had been getting aggressive, biting harder and much more spastic. id read that cats need companions in order to know how hard to bite etc, and at one point we had a second kitten in the house. now that kitten is gone (it wasnt ours to begin with) and we just got a new second kitten. its 8 weeks old and the most lethargic creature ive seen. it moves so slowly and is completely passive. my older cat will run up and strike it on the head and the smaller cat doesnt even respond.
first of all, why is my older cat so aggressive if it happened before the new cat was introduced?
second, why is the new cat so... taoist?
third, if the old cat attacks the new cat, will he know not to hurt the new one? he bites me from time to time without blood but with some pain involved. and last, how do i fix this if the new cat wont play?
ill keep them in different rooms but that doesnt solve why the old one got aggressive before we even got the new one.
any suggestions?
