Savannah Super Cat
Jengo and Bizley have finally become buddies I believe. They chase each other around the house, not much hissing going on, lots of wrestling and tail swooshing in faces. Lots of nose bump greetings and sniffs. they "fight" between the curtains which I assume is fun for them. If Jengo doesn't like something he will run away. No yowling, howling or grwoling.
I am a very happy mommy! Only problem is when they play they tend to get rough. I'm a little worried about this. Jengo likes to hold Bizley down and bite his neck. I've read that cats rarely kill each other, that it's a territorial thing and very normal but I'm concerned without supervision because Jengo is MUCH larger than Biz and Jengo has PLAY AGGRESSION. Up until now it has not been much issue since he if he bites me I yell "No Bites" step away for a couple of minutes and then give him a toy large enough he can rabbit foot and bite. He's goes hard on these toys although he has yet to tear any to shreds.
How should I deal with his play aggression? I don't want to interrupt their fun but I want Biz to be safe. Occasionally he makes these small little whimpers and Jengo does not back off (it doesn't appear that way anyhow and I don't give it much time to go on either.) I've had to yell stop and then they look at me like I just ruined something.
