Are Male Cats G!ts?

TripleH

Our boy and his sister are Burmese.

Our youngest is a Maine Coon and our oldest is a Tortoise shell of mixed origin.

The fighting is more noise and wrestling than anything else. (He comes of worse having had several black eyes over the years from his sister).

I refer to him as a g!t because he does it when she is sat comfortably relaxing quietly just to wind her up. He doesn't do it to the other 2 as much.

1G was 19 when she died of C.

She was curled up on the footstool / pouffe sleeping, 3B was also curled up sleeping on it. His fur accidentally touched hers as he breathed. Split second later 1G pasted 3B, full on hissing, spitting and right hooks,  he looked totally surprised literally not knowing what had hit him and they both went back to sleep.

A few hours later, she slept for the last time on my lap.

Such fond memories, so many tales about each one and all are individuals. 

I hope you can resolve it and perhaps try feliway as some have had great success with it.

I suspect the underlying stress my wife and I have had with trying to buy somewhere and living next to heavy pot smokers who 'cleverly' blew their smoke out their window and into ours for 9 months has not helped.

Movingforwards, we did think we were loosing our eldest last March as she clearly wasn't well (the other 2 stopped squabbling and would sit close enough to her as they dared). Fortunately she pulled through and since stairs and a youngster reentered her life again she has been as consistently happy as I have seen her in a long while.

I have two Burmese, a boy & a girl.  Both go outside to toilet, but spend most of their time inside.  

I've had the boy over a year, he’s amazing & a nightmare all in one cat. 

He’s clever, so clever.  The doorbell goes and he excitedly runs to the door to greet whomever is there.  He loves people, adults, kids, everyone.  He goes into the neighbours houses to visit their cats (& just chill!!!), he also steals things, kids toys & even food!!! 

He’s talkative, demanding, affectionate.
He’s also sadly a very successful hunter & he likes to bring them home to slowly kill them, birds & mice.  Sometimes they are dead when I find him with them, sometimes injured.  

My girl I’ve only had a few months, they get on nicely, but he can be a bit rough with her at times. 

She’s a bit nervous & timid, she’s very affectionate.  She does growl at him if she has her toy mouse or a treat & she thinks he’s after it.  She doesn’t growl at me.  She’s not a huge character like him, she’s a gentle little thing.

Our boy isn't dumb, he's daft. Or he's smart enough to get exactly what he wants. Usual trick plonk his bum down on the floor and wail until someone comes running.

His sister is very annoyingly smart. She opens cupboards and I mean one with a turn handle to open (she learnt if they rattle they are loose enough for her to open)amongst other things.

They are both currently sleeping on my lap which isn't as fun as it sounds.
