Cat bullying other cat

[BarrytheFatcat]

Hello all, I'm hoping I can some advice about my female cat, Ruby bullying her brother.

When I first adopted them 4 years ago they loved each other cuddling in the same bed and even grooming each other now it seems ruby is extremely jealous of her brother Barry, she will attack him and hiss at him if she seems him and won't go on our bed (where Barry spends most of his time) sometimes.

I've tried feliway twice but it doesn't help and I give them both attention and fuss. Barry never instigates a fight all he wants to do is sleep eat and get fuss!

Can anyone give me some advice but please don't say rehome her coz that would break my heart.

Bump

I wish I had the answer for you Barry. I have a similar problem with 2 of mine, going on 3 years now. It'd be great if there was a cat behaviourist nearby. I tried the slow introduction, leaving scent covered objects with them, but nothing works.

Hopefully someone will be able to help.

Thanks for replying, I think it started a few years ago when I had to take Barry to the vets, they had to give him a local anesthetic so when we brought him back home he must of smelt different?

We're moving to a bigger house so it may help they'll have more space to themselves.

Bump anyone else?

Lots of different beds, three litter trays ( one each plus a spare), more than one feeding station... lots of random hiding spaces... separate play time... I guess you have probably tried all those things but that’s what I would do

I agree with potential, get separate stuff for them both, so they feel they have their own things. Cat baskets? Climbing trees? Cats are quite jealous and territorial. My two don't get on with each other and are very jealous of each other. Separate things seem to help.
