As I recently wrote, the flu paid a visit to our house. Gracie was very protective of me when I was sick. She charged in front of me whenever Kiki approached. She blocked nearly every attempt Kiki made to come near me.
Unfortunately, this behavior has continued. Kiki and Gracie have had some nasty fights as a result. It is very strange. She does not react this way when Maddy comes around. In fact, Maddy routinely sashays into the room when Gracie is eating and rubs her head against my arm. Gracie does not have any problems with Maddy.
I suspect we have a battle for head of the household. Kiki has been the chief long before Gracie’s arrival. Gracie, feeling superior to a cat, has finally had enough of Kiki’s bullying. Regardless of the cause, it cannot continue. If you have had experiences like this and can offer advice, it would be much appreciated.
Rescue Mommy
P.S. She does not exhibit these behaviors around Rescue Daddy. She knows he is a cat lover and does not waste her energy.
