There might be trouble in paradise. 😕
Since Chupa is only sort of house-trained she stays crated when I'm not home. Scar has become pretty good buddies with our other cat, Addsie, and that's understandable - they are about the same age and are both very playful.
Chupa is INSANELY jealous of them playing together. She gets mad and chases Addsie every chance she gets. If she's crated and can't chase her she barks and barks at her whenever she sees her. She pretty much hates Addsie right now. In fact, Chupa is being so possessive that she doesn't even like for any of the people to pet "her kitty." She will bark and bark. If she can get to him she will come and cover him up with her whole body. Then they usually play wrestle and she's happy again.
I have no doubts that Scar cares about her because right after her spay he spent a lot of time by her crate since she wasn't allowed to play. He would even nap there. But he has also started avoiding her while she's out. I think she might be getting a little over-bearing.
I feel terrible because Chupa is spending her morning playtime alone more often than not the last few days. I can't help but wonder if they are breaking up, or going through a rough patch, or what. They still have their moments where they play and hang out like they used to, but these last few days... not so much. It's really bumming me out. 🙁
How do you give couples therapy to a cat and a dog?
