My cat seems to be stalking and attacking my other cat. How can I stop this behavior?

Answer
This aggressive behavior, even if playful at first, can lead to serious stress, fear, and injury if left unaddressed. It's important to ensure both cats have ample resources (food bowls, litter boxes, resting spots) in separate areas, and that there are enough vertical spaces. Try to interrupt and redirect the aggressor with a toy or positive reinforcement before an attack occurs. Sometimes, separate feeding and targeted play can help. If severe, a veterinary behaviorist might be needed. Speak to Dial A Vet via a video consult should you need further guidance.
