1. Give all cats in the household space. Space to find a bed of their own. Space to sit and view their world. Space and safety to toilet. Cats often use time partitioning to separate territory (yours in the morning, mine at night!).
2. Where possible, let the cats decide who is boss. You interfering will only make things worse.
3. Give each cat your individual attention. If necessary, ensure other cats are out of the room (especially if your attention is on the “undercat”).
4. Play with your cats so that the bully does not need to use his energy in terrorizing the other cat.
5. Think carefully before you introduce another cat into your household. Wanting them to be friends may be too optimistic. A harmonious and quiet household should be your goal.
