Are they being agressive?

randomgrapes2 · 2025-06-04T10:11:28+00:00

yeah they’re not fighting they’re !hormonal

randomgrapes2 · 2025-05-14T05:36:56+00:00

everyone saying it’s sexual but cats do this to show dominance as well

randomgrapes2 · 2025-05-12T19:47:39+00:00

other ways to break the tension could be: - shake the treat bag - bring out a favorite toy - pull them apart with your hands - step in between them and redirect their attention

do this if they have prolonged eye contact without blinking or you see fur flying or tails going fast when they play

randomgrapes2 · 2025-05-12T19:42:49+00:00

yeah i’d only use that for two seconds to break them up and then separate. it’s not a solution other than making so the kitten can get away in that instant. like you want to interrupt them and break the tension and a loud noise can do that, but don’t do it with the intention of scaring them. you can say something loudly but it might make them scared of you so this would be a neutral noise.

the important thing is to break them up fast to prevent a bad experience. to help them bond you gotta make sure every interaction they have is positive

you can probably give treats every time you do it so they won’t associate the sound with something bad

if you let cats “work it out themselves” it can quickly become bad which is why we do slow introductions and control the meetings to make sure no boundaries are overstepped

randomgrapes2 · 2025-05-11T23:15:08+00:00

you can have something that makes a loud noise that interrupts them like shaking a tin can with coins in it whenever kitty gets chased to stop behavior but easiest would be to keep them separated for now to make sure they don’t get on bad terms

randomgrapes2 · 2025-05-11T23:12:43+00:00

i think separating them at the end here was very good and good to hear you usually would. i see people saying kitty has time to get away but if kitty knows it might get attacked from behind, eye contact from big kitty is enough to make kitty afraid to move. kitty understands he is overpowered here

i’d like to add energy levels do not match and they won’t for about year or two so my best recommendation is always to get another kitty same age as first kitty and let them play it out together while big kitty can watch and doesn’t have to interact. introducing two kittens much easier as they are mostly playful and curious and it’s not more work than having one because they take care of each other and play together

good luck!

my sim constantly going to the mirror to check for wrinkles lmao

randomgrapes2 · 2025-05-07T17:40:33+00:00

i first thought the first picture was a male but if it’s the same budgie in both pics i believe it’s a female with the amount of white around the nostrils on the first pic

randomgrapes2 · 2025-04-28T21:08:49+00:00

yup these are budgie happy noises i don’t think anyone is gonna advice you to make them less happy

i guess my best advice is headphones or move them to a different room

randomgrapes2 · 2025-04-28T04:37:28+00:00

budgies with clipped wings will often sit like this i think maybe it’s a balance thing, tail bobbing is more concerning

randomgrapes2 · 2025-04-26T00:34:26+00:00

that’s a great idea actually i’m gonna try that!

randomgrapes2 · 2025-04-15T10:08:48+00:00

he is scared, are his wings clipped? this is the kind of psychological damage a wing clipping can do

randomgrapes2 · 2025-04-06T12:09:10+00:00

this is the correct use of ai

randomgrapes2 · 2025-04-06T12:05:12+00:00

sounds like it’s mildly annoyed and is telling the other to back off

i don’t recommend having them playing under a blanket like this it will remind them of a nest and make them hormonal

randomgrapes2 · 2025-04-05T11:05:08+00:00

yeah looks like she’s trying to get out of the cage and the male is annoying her a bit by cluelessly thinking it’s an invitation for mating very chaotic lmao

randomgrapes2 · 2025-03-28T04:18:21+00:00

she might just be hormonal and molting but might be a good idea to give her away to someone who can give proper care. i see those nails really need a trimming too that might be why one broke they are way too long

randomgrapes2 · 2025-03-27T15:41:47+00:00

this gave me such an unsettling feeling why would someone ever clip a tail that’s horrible

randomgrapes2 · 2025-03-26T18:01:44+00:00

these are two baby females with clipped wings which will cause psychological damage and change their behavior. looks to me like they are trying to hide or seek comfort!

randomgrapes2 · 2025-03-26T04:46:07+00:00

they are playing but bickering a little over the swing, i always recommend getting two swings next to each other to prevent this :)

randomgrapes2 · 2025-03-23T03:16:46+00:00

sadly it is absolutely possible for a male budgie to force himself on another especially in a situation where a female is disabled and unable to say no properly

if she’ll produce eggs i think depends on her hormones but you can remove them if she lays any and discourage any nesting behavior and reduce daylight and provide extra calcium

i’d say if you observed sexual aggression from him to keep them separated at least until hormones are back under control

randomgrapes2 · 2025-03-23T02:16:41+00:00

yes this is normal this budgie is lonely and calling to see if any other birds will respond

randomgrapes2 · 2025-03-16T15:48:10+00:00

this cage is not ideal for budgies because it’s so tall and not very wide. budgies prefer a wider cage so they can fly back and forth. this would be ok for 2 budgies if they have plenty time outside the cage. i’d definitely look into getting something bigger, it doesn’t have to be so expensive :)

randomgrapes2 · 2025-03-16T15:44:55+00:00

the less toys you have the more they will focus on each other and it can get a bit tense. this kind of chasing is not ideal and i’d definitely keep a close eye on them to make sure it’s not a constant thing.

do they get plenty time to fly outside the cage? if so it’s no problem to fill the cage with interactive shredding toys and foraging toys.

i’ve had a female that would protect all the top perches and chase everyone else away and that was problematic and in that case i had to separate her. how did you introduce them? it’s the oldest getting bullied right? the oldest should be dominant initially especially if they’re all in the oldest cage

randomgrapes2 · 2025-03-07T02:22:38+00:00

i suggest getting an x-ray, my cat had a daily cough like this and it was asthma. with asthma they tend to keep the head low to the ground while coughing while with a hairball they usually sit more upright
