This is going to sound weird. I have an 8 month old female cat who keeps “sucking” on a 4 year old neutered MALE cat. The older cat seems as though he is in pain after the “nursing” has subsided. I’m concerned that this may also mean that the younger cat has severe mental problems. I’m assuming that this behavior is an effect of the cat not being properly weaned. What can I do, or does anyone suggest something that can be put on the older cat’s nipples to stop this from recurring?

How can I stop a cat hanging around? and how can I treat a bite from a cat?

My cat has recently been ganged up on by another cat in my area. He is constantly around our house starting fights with her. She’s a small cat and she’s had a few nasty bites these last few months. Usually after she gets bitten there’s a $300 vet bill to pay… What could I do to stop this other cat hanging around? Or if there’s nothing I can do, what kind of antiseptic cream could I put on the bite to stop it getting infected (that wont hurt her if she licks it off)?
I’ve been told she may be on heat, but this fighting has got to stop.

1. She has been spayed.
2. The male cat is not feral, he belongs to a nice lady down the road
3. This cat is NOT an inside cat. No way, not ever. You try having her in for one night. She has a cat door to wander in and out downstairs but the other cat has learnt to follow her in. I’m not keeping her inside. At all. Not an option. She’s psycho at night.
