Question
I have 4 cats 1 female and the three males are all fixed, she's not. My problem is she bullies and fights with 2 of my other cats,she intimidates them and chases them away,  sometimes when they want to come to me, I've had my cats from 4 years up to 7years,she being the newest at 4 years. This has all started in the last year or so,How do I stop her from being so mean? My other cats cower when they walk past her. I need help!

Answer
Dear Trish,

Spray her with water to get her to realize she is behaving the wrong way. Try to give her a bit more attention, but not o much, since she is scaring your other cats off. If they fight, this could get serious, so separate her from the males. It could be she is trying to go into heat, but she realized she can't so she is grumpy, so maybe get her fixed. Good luck.
