Why does one of my cats start fights with my deaf cat in the next room when?

Question

I am on the computer? He does it constantly. How to stop this? I have tried wetting down his tail with cold water and chasing him downstairs...nothing gets through to him to stop..I sometimes take the deaf cat and set her up on top of the computer monitor box to watch her (then he doesn't dare try it in here).

Answer 1

I also have two cats, one male (13.5 lbs.) and one female (petite), both have been neutered/spayed. The male is the aggressor as this was his home first so it may be a territorial thing. Not much to do about it but what you're doing. Good luck. :)

Answer 2

I don't think it has much to do with the fact that the other cat is deaf. I'm not even sure that cats are aware of this in other cats.

I suspect that your cat wants to play or have some attention. My cats are like children and I've found when they fight, it's because they think I'm not giving them enough attention.

I know this might sound silly but it worked for my cats. They can learn, just as they have learnt that when the ham is actually in the sandwich it's mine.........lol, that when you are on the computer they do nto need to fight. I made time to play with my cats, before I went on the computer and after I stopped using it. My two soon realised that the computer was not going to take me away from them.
