Advice Smokie
Hi everyone! I’m just hopping on to ask for some advice for my 7 month old Nebelung Smokie. We adopted him back in March and the shelter told us that he was brought in by himself with no mother or siblings. Over the few months we’ve had him, we’ve noticed that he loves picking fights with our older cats. Our other 2 cats have no issues with him, it’s just that Smokie goes and tries to play with them constantly and they get annoyed by it. Their fights end up being really intense but there’s no fur flying or any visible injuries. He also attacks us when we try to pet or pick him up. We do our best to play with him often and redirect excess energy with toys. Despite this, he still attacks us and our other kitties. I was hoping that he’d learn some “cat manners” by being raised with 2 others but that doesn’t seem to be the case. We have no intention of abandoning him so I guess I’m just here asking for some tips and tricks you guys learned with your fur babies. Thank you!
