So my gorgeous Obie and Ophie are now 22 week old Maine Coon kittens. Neutered at 16 weks, chipped in perfect health and growing like weeds. They go out into our enclosed garden when we are home but haven't managed to go further yet.
Ophie is sweet, slightly timid, purry and no trouble at all. Obie on the other hand is...
a rapidly growing, ginger ninja bad ass! In the last week or so he has upped his general bad behaviour (compulsive knocker off of anything he can, cable chewer, sister beater-upper, food stealing even though he is VERY well fed) to attacking everything that moves.. mostly us! Night times are the worst.. he spends the night either attacking our toes, trying to get under the duvet or trying to open doors (which as our bedroom and DS2's are sliding with no locks.. is easy) He is affectionate and inquisitive and likes to be where the action is at all times, but his naughty biting is a real nuisance, and his poor sister is getting battered as he is much bigger.
If he hadn't been neutered I'd be assuming it was male dominat behaviour..but he has. Is it just his 'teenage' phase or do we need to step in?
If so can anyone give me suggestions? DS2 is a bit scared to go to the loo at night in case the ginger ninja pounces!!
