Guardian: Hello~
Two puppies welcome us as soon as we enter!
Are they the ones breaking the peace in the house?
Guardian: We have 2 dogs and 5 cats
This is the first child, 'Mew'. 3 years old.
Mew: Hello
This is Ray, 3 years old
This is Laon, 2 years old
This is Louis, 1 year old now.
and this is the youngest, Seol.
5 spynx cats live in this house!
From toys to cat towers...
this is heaven for the cats!
At that time... Louis is heading somewhere...
He's going to Mew..
As louis comes near, Mew acts very aggressively
Mew hisses and it seems like he's backing down...but
Louis follows Mew after again..!
It is clear that Mew does not appreciate Louis' behaviour...
Louis, why are you bothering Mew?
Guardian: He always goes for Mew and attacks him
It started around late January, early February.
PD: Were they close up until last year then?
Guardian: Very. They used to eat together.
They used to groom each other when they are next to each other...
Until 2 months ago...
Mew and Louis were in good terms
But now...
Guardian: Oh, no. He saw him
They can't stand each other
Mew hid under the table so he can't be seen
However...
Louis follows Mew after... AGAIN
The tension is real...
And here we go again...
The guardian sees if they are hurt
Both Mew and Louis got hurt...
Guardian: Why do you fight so much, Louis? You're making mommy sad...
Guardians have a theory as to why Louis is acting strangely.
I think it could be because of Som
Som used to be Louis' best friend
but, Som is ill so she's at the hospital at the moment from last October
I think there's been a change.. I think he may be depresseed.
Out of sorrow that he's friend is not here, perhaps?
The guardians suspect that Louis may be feeling a little depressed
since Som is gone to the hospital.
We can't let this bad-blood going
I'm going to try this. This is meant to keep cats calm
Decided to try pheromone, which is effective to reduce cat's stress level
Louis seems to like the smell!
And... Louis and Mew met again..!
Will they fight again..?
Huh? Louis is acting charmingly, showing his belly
Mew seems flustered at Louis' behaviour, too
Finally peace at home..?
Not so easy! Louis chases after Mew and attacks Mew all of a sudden!
He even attacks Ray who's come to see what's going on
On top of that, Mew gets invovled and attacks Ray, too!
Guardian: It is getting serious
When he can't control his anger, he even attacks other cats
The tention in the house is getting higher...
To find peace, we called in an expert!
Vet: What's clear is that... the fact that one cat is gone
could definitely be the cause of fight
as it made them to rearrange their territory
The had an order so all 6 of them can live peacefully, then
one cat is gone
the other cats would think 'So, can It be mine?'
They must claim the territory first
It could be the cause of this war
As Som left the house
there appeared an unclaimed territory, and the cats had to fight over it
Louis is at the maturing period as a male cat
he's at the period that he's the most energetic and dominant
While all cats were thinking 'I'm going to use that territory!'
Mew, the eldest, and the rising star Louis
were most likely to go against each other
Louis entered into a maturing period
He started wanted to expand his territory
and to claim more territory than he has now
he must have attacked Mew, who is in the higher hierarchy
This is to create good memories
when they are close to one another.
We're going to use a tool to keep a safe distance
and will narrow the distance down as they get closer
(수의사) / 1차적으로 고양이들한테 코 터치 교육을 하고 있습니다 First step is nose-touching training
When the cats touch the rod with their nose, they get a treat!
Louis mastered it already LOL
Mew is following the training very well, too
After repeated training, it's the real game
They are close to each other...!
Now, they are busy eating snacks, they are not bothered by each other's presence
Guardian: Seeing them together this close
gives me hope. I'm very happy.
For cats, it's a priority to set a healthy relationship amongst themselves
even though it takes time
Just accept that it's going to take long
and slowly proceed with the training. That's my tip for successful joining process.
The next day
Training goes on today again!
After some time, they'll become besties like before!
We hope peace will come to this house from now on!
