[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 342888, member: 1233"] Yell is probably too strong for what we do. The vet encouraged us to do it to distract her, we mostly call her name and go up to her - she will let us scratch her or cuddle her and it stops. Sometimes it starts a game of tag. We will touch her - she runs, then she stops and runs TO us, licks or nips an ankle, and runs away. She keeps that up until we literally play tag. So it seems we call her name and then run, but she usually initiates the game. I will make sure we are being very gentle. We never want to stress her out. She may be stressed by husband's CPAP. Lately she has been trying to attack it even when husband isnot wearing it. Not sure if Morgan is a problem. Never had cats who didn't live together just fine. She sure seems to be top dog, in spite of being smaller. We encourage this by making sure she eats first (keeping him away while she eats first - started because she is smaller and we wanted to be sure she didn't stop eating when he arrived 3 years ago), that she gets first pick of most everything. He is fine with-it. Mostly he wants to be as fat as he can and move as little as he can. Sort of like a low energy garfield. The vet says it is not a skin problem. I just wondered if there was anything we could do like adding grease or some supplement to help her with this. It just looks strange and like it would bug her. Thanks all. [/QUOTE]
