Need help with feline rivalry? These two are working things out, with continued supervision and boundary setting while creating positive associations when possible. It's a work in progress, especially when you have a younger energetic male and an older female who wants space. 3-foot rule... some just take longer to figure it out!
Edit - Angel is wearing an Air tag because of a recent move and learning new boundaries outside. She's a good sport - stays in the yard and comes when called. Basil is another story!

Fearful cats can have a host of other behavior issues. Cats don't show anxiety the way we do. Often it shows up as behavior issues. Managing fear and anxiety in cats is so important for behavior change.

Researchers at the University of Helsinki have discovered a number of mutual connections between feline fearfulness, aggression and excessive grooming. Identifying such connections can provide means for preventing problematic behaviour.

This is our Bailey. She is 18 1/2 years old and the sweetest cat. Her health is declining, so we'll be at the vet this afternoon. Prayers for Bailey, please.
