I don't know, just thinking do you think it would help to cage her for
a few days, with the other cats around? Perhaps keeping on the
clonicalm...?

I'm having very similar issues with a male attacking 3 of my other
cats. I just try to lock him up when I can. I have also given him
clonicalm.......... but that hasn't really seemed to help.

Ok, guys. I hope someone can figure this situation out, because I'm
at my wit's end. Two of my girls are NOT getting along, and I don't
know what to do. Penelope (FeLV negative, 2 years old, very
standoffish personality, not a "friendly" type cat, doesn't want to
be held, only wants attention when SHE wants it, a loner, etc) and
Grizzabella (FeLV positive, 7 years old, very friendly, never met a
stranger, not so much a lap cat, but doesn't mind being petted and
isn't afraid of strangers at all) are constantly at each other. :
( They never really "liked" each other, but the last few months it
has gotten progressively worse. To the point that Penelope is
afraid to come out of the bedroom. She was pooping/peeing under the
bed. And I know it was just because she was afraid of Grizzabella
and wouldn't come out of the bedroom. We finally had to put a
litterbox in there for her, and food/water.
What I have noticed is they seem to attack each other, depending on
their mood, but one always jumps the other. They can't even pass in
the hall without fighting, and I don't know what to do. There
doesn't seem to be any precursor/cuase. All it seems to take is one
of them seeing the other and they're off. I'm really worried Bella
is going to end up scratching Penny and infecting her. Right now
when they start I just put Bella in the guestroom for a few hours so
Penelope can come out of the bedroom, and then when we leave of the
morning I let Bella out and Penelope spends the day in the bedroom.
Any of you guys had any success with behavior modification? I
welcome any thoughts/ideas on what has worked for you guys in the
past. Poppy, the third one in the house proper, gets along with
both of them, for the most part. I've seen Poppy jump Penny a time
or two, but certainly nothing like the other two. :( Penny and
Poppy do well together most of the time (they both sleep in my bed
at night). Any ideas?
