Its sad when we try to talk to people like this for their own good, and yet they back away convinced we are against them and dont understand when in fact we do. They are WWWAAAYYY too many cats in this world, your cat dosent nead to have a litter. They are animals they do not desire kits, sex and lust yes, love their kits after they are born yes, but do not desire them as would humans after they grow up then mom probably wont care about them anymore. If you spay her she will be happyier and a better pet, she wont have heat cycles she wont have cancer. Its good that you plan on spaying mom and nuetering dad but still its dangerous for her to have a litter, How old is she? How old is the father? A cat can have babies or make babies at 4 to 5 months. Please get her spayed, you will be saving yourself money, plus if you volnteer at a shelter and foster a preg queen you still will be able to get kittens and the costs will be for free or reduced.

I have not had a lot of luck with 'training' cats to get along, and behavioral modification in cats can be frustrating (many cats seem to want to be the only ones in the home and misguided attempts to get them a 'friend' often end in disaster). Still ,it is certainly worth trying. I have several clients who own cats and have one 'bully'. Sometimes fluoxetine works well for these cats (I have actually had very good success with this medication when used for this purpose in cats). This is the generic for Prozac and it's now sold as Reconcile specifically for animals. This drug works very well, too, for anxious cats that tend to have behavioral urination problems (way better than any other medication I have tried). I know medications are not the cure all for behavioral problems, but some do help a lot, often saving a pet from being sent to the pound for euthanasia. Still, in some homes, there remains some tendency for fighting and a constant tension may exist... and some of these owners elect to separate the cats into a few permanent groups if possible.

I had one too that no trick worked on. He even faked swallowing! I tried the holding the month shut and rubbing his neck, and as soon as I let go the pill would be airborne. I did learn that I really could push it pretty far back and he had no choice but to swallow it. My other dog at the time, well, she just wasn't as smart. You would just say "treat" and she would gulp it before anyone else could get it. My neighbor swears by the Greenie's pill pockets.
