My sphynx, Squid, is 10 months old and his siamese brother, Max, is 10 years old. I wonder if I made a mistake getting Max a kitten brother. Squid attacks Max nonstop. Max does not appear to enjoy the "playfulness." He hisses, growls, yowls, and runs away. At first, I thought Squid was just a kitten who wanted to play. I think Max is miserable. I feel Squid is overly aggressive because he will jump on or chase Max at any time. I don't know if it's territorial or if Squid "plays" too rough. Squid has a LOT of energy. I want both my cat boys to be happy and healthy.
A few things I've considered:
1 - get Squid a cat wheel to see if he'll run away his energy and not direct it toward Max
2 - try a pheremone diffuser
3 - try "calming" cat chews, treats, or similar
4 - do nothing and hope Squid grows out of it...
Does anyone have thoughts or suggestions?
