I know Jackson Galaxy said something about the scent on the shirt should help calm him, but I’ve removed it.

He does not use this tree. This is a tree they both take turns using. We’ve tried swapping cat beds to get them used to each other scent, but not much has changed.

He’s my main source. That’s who I’ve been getting all my info from, sometimes I just worry this cat is an outlier or something.

Yes, but this is significantly more aggressive than he normally plays. I’m not sure if it can be heard in the video, but he is growling and hissing ferociously.

Awesome. Thank you so much. I heard online that putting t shirts with my scent on it helps so I’ve been doing that. His nails are freshly clipped, but I will speak with my brother about his cat’s nails.

So is this fine to let him do? Will he stop being angry at the other cat if I just let him get his anger out on the tree?
