I have 2 lovely male neutered Birmans of the same age and from the same breeder, and they've been living together with us for 3 years. But every now and then (rarely - I'd say it's happened 3 or 4 times this year) the more dominant one has been going for the other ones throat - he clenches his teeth round and grips on, whilst the other one simply squeals and stays still - this morning he was doing it, and when I managed to get him off, the weaker one was gasping for breath and seemed quite withdrawn.
I shouted at the evil one loudly and picked him up and shouted at him again - he cowered away from me but I don't think it's going to do the trick?
Any advice on how to teach this evil one to stop doing it? Would he actually go as far as to kill him by doing this? Should they be separated?
Any ideas/advice welcomed!
