Hey all....first post, how are ya?
We have a 10 month old male fixed cat named ozzie....he's orange with awesome stripes.....rescued him from under a building near a barn. He's awesome, but definitely shows that he spent the first 3 months of his life alone & possibly abused/scared by humans.
We just got a 2 month old female on Saturday, mostly white calico....she's great.
My problem is that Oz stalks her as if she's prey, or so it appears to me. Sometimes I think he's playing, but then he gets her in a bear hug & starts the bunny-kick....she's so little that she can't get away. I feel as if he's simply playing & doesn't know how big he is, only because he's had his jaws around her a few times & never bit down. It's just that he's really aggressive.
I currently keep them in seperate rooms when we're not there & when we're sleeping....
If anyone has any insight at all for a newbie it would be much appreciated....
