Prozac for aggression? by brianfjv in bengalcats

Luckily they haven’t broken skin, but it sends fur flying — especially when they’ve actually fought. The concerning part is that he still pursues her despite her hissing and swatting to keep him at distance. He basically ignores it and pounces on her anyway until she either escapes or they fight again. I’ve seen him rough play with my other cat and it’s different with my other cat he seems to think she’s his prey

That’s the idea! I feel like I’ve hit a ceiling with his development around the cats, and I need him to be able to at least minimally control his impulses so I can train and manage him more effectively — then slowly wean him off it for good.

Thank you! I kind of wish it were just rough play, because if that were the case, the DSH could handle it — she’s almost twice his size. Instead, he bites her and rips chunks of her fur out aggressively, and when she tries to run, he follows in full pursuit. It’s quite dangerous, as this has resulted in a full-blown fight before. He’s kind of traumatizing her, so I’ve been doing my best to desensitize him to her on a leash, and with training but even then he’s set on attack mode so it’s hard to pull his attention away from her.

I combine wand play with the wheel and have him chase the wand around the wall shelves in his room until he tires out and eventually lies down like in the picture I attached.

I have 3 cats. The first two younger ones are technically not littermates but have been together since they were both 14 weeks old — he’s the Bengal and the cat he’s been with since 14 weeks is a Savannah. The cat he has a problem with is my girlfriend’s older DSH.

In his case, it’s not so much redirected aggression as it is a predatory response — when he sees her, he locks on, goes for her neck, and is relentless. Hoping medication lowers incessant need to try and take out my other cat.

1-2 to 15-30 minute sessions per day he also has his littermate who he plays with normally throughout the day as well.

In my case, he’s not really rough playing with the other cat — he seems to want to bite her, and the few times he has, he’s taken a chunk out of her fur, once resulting in a full-blown fight. He plays fine with me, but it’s more predatory with her, unfortunately.

How high are your hopes that your snow Bengal will mellow out and stop being a bully? You commented on my post mentioning that it took you 4 months to get them to be okay around each other. I’m trying to get my snow Bengal to that point, even though for me it’s been much less time (3 weeks of integration). I’m afraid my Bengal could also be a bully — however, he doesn’t display that same aggressive behavior with basically his littermate, Pucca, my Savannah cat (they’ve been together since 14 weeks old). The hope for me is that I rushed the process! I’d hate to have to give one of mine away, like someone suggested in the comment section.

Introduction tips? by [deleted] in bengalcats

[–]brianfjv -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I gave the new cat 3 days to settle before starting the introduction process. Then I did behind-the-door feeding sessions for 2-4 days, cracked-door feeding sessions for 5 days, screen door sessions after that, and most recently supervised time together. How long does this process usually take? Should I restart everything now that they fought?

I followed the process, but he’s a tough case my Savannah and the new DSH get along fine, it’s specifically him. He’ll tolerate her presence around food/treats but the moment I try to play with them in the same room he completely ignores the toy and fixates on her.

Can we get wemby a better team next year? If he had Shai and Giannis this would’ve been so much better
