I’ve been trying to teach Ouzo that the tower is a safe place to “hide” from Raki when he gets stressed out. He’s already been sitting up high a lot, but now when they start fussing and hissing I have been putting Ouzo right on top and petting him until he settles. (He’s surprisingly good at staying where he’s put, for a cat.) Yesterday there was a spat and I scolded, then called Ouzo over and tapped the tower with my hand, and he came up. So that’s progress.
Raki is full of kitten energy and Ouzo, while still energetic and playful, is quickly overwhelmed by Raki’s chaos. My husband suggested letting them fight it out and get it out of their systems, but I think that’s a bad plan - it gets them into the habit and lets them think beating up on each other is okay. So I intervene every time.
