: :Try your best to provide some stimulating playtime with a cat wand or fishing pole type toy and maybe you can wear them out a bit!
:Unless Oscar is seriously threatening or hurting Hershey you probably should just leave it alone and let it work itself out. Cats get "issues" going that are often incomprehensible to humans. Sometimes when you try to interfer with the whole domanance game, you can make things worse. This is what I have been doing... Just letting things be but I feel bad about Hershey so I wanted to check if I was doing the right thing, or if there was more I could do. Playing with Oscar and wearing him out might work, but it also might make him more wound up. I suppose it couldn't hurt to give it a try. All three cats love to play with wand toys but not together. Today was a good day though. April did give Oscar a hard time but only twice and Oscar never chased Hershey so this was pretty good. I worry about how things will be while we are on vacation though. We will be gone for 9 days shortly after Christmas. My mom will come to check on them daily if she can. I will also set in addition to the water and food upstairs a litter box up there to. I have 5 for them so I can distribute them around. Last time on Thanksgiving we were gone for two days and when we returned someone got shut out of the litter box and pooped out side of it. I don't want this to happen again. Any suggestions on this other than what I will do? Thanks
