My Dominant Cat is Bullying My New Cat, What Can I Do?

If your dominant cat is bullying your new cat and pushing them around, you can put a stop to it. Here are several things you can do to help your cats live together in peace and harmony.

First of all, if the bullying is severe, keep them separated when you are not around to prevent one cat from getting injured. If you can't be around, provide lots of hiding places to hide, like boxes, behind couches, or under beds.

If you have just brought a new cat into the house, one reason it might be rejected by the other pets is because it smells differently then them. Cats have a great sense of smell, and they always will mark objects to put their scent on them.

One way to help this process along is to rub your new cat in a towel or bed that the bullying cat sleeps on. This will help transfer their scent to the new cat.

If you don't have a towel a brush works just as well. First brush the bullying cat, and then brush the submissive cat to transfer the scent.

Some cats take longer than other cats to accept new pets into the house. Most eventually get along, but others will merely tolerate the new pet as long as they stay some distance away.

You can't control how your cat will react to the new cat, but you can try to treat both cats equally by petting them and feeding them the same.
