Peanut is six months old today. And he is STILL heckling Chinchilla. Everyday they fight and everyday I worry she's going to beat the living crap out of him. I don't intervene, so I would think they would have worked through whatever it is that is bothering them. I would think that by now Peanut would understand that she doesn't tolerate him smacking her on the head or biting at her heels. He won't listen to her cues and her hissing at him does nothing to deter his behavior. We had gotten the feliway diffuser two months ago and it did nothing. I want to hope that he will stop being a bratty boy, but it doesn't look like that will happen anytime soon and my SO is getting fed up with Peanut's bullying. Peanut doesn't like him touching him at all and a few nights ago, he hissed at my SO and took a swipe at him. He doesn't like men it seems, which is bad because the SO says that he will not tolerate this bad behavior if it doesn't stop. On one hand, I understand, but on the other hand I don't want to have to rehome Peanut over something that can be reversed.
And before anyone suggests it, I can't put Peanut in a separate room. There are no other safe rooms in the house we live in.(don't want judgements for that, nor questions).
The clicker training hasn't sunk in yet either. He doesn't obey the few commands we've been trying to teach him.
I'm doing my best here. What more could be done?
