Hey guys! It has been a while since I have been on, but I was hoping you guys could help me with a problem I am beginning to have with my bully, Sadie. She was spayed last Tuesday (a little late for an almost 4 year old, I know) and every since then she has been acting stranger than normal. I also have to cats that she has been around for at least 2 years now, so they are nothing new to her. Since she came home from her surgery though, she has been acting more dominant towards them. She is especially towards Sasha, the younger cat. According to my boyfriend (we live together), none of this behavior occurs when I am not home. When I am home though, if Sasha even comes in the room Sadie runs at her real fast trying to scare her off. It is like she doesn't even want her in the same room. The closer she gets, the worse Sadie acts. Sadie also wants to be right next to me now. She has always wanted to be close, but she has gotten to where now she is almost laying on top of me before she is satisfied and will be still. When I am just laying down, that is fine, but when I am trying to study for my classes, this becomes difficult to deal with. I will give you another example of her behavior towards Sasha as well. Last night I was sitting on the couch trying to study, and Sadie was on the couch with me. Well, Sasha decided she wanted to lay on the arm of the couch (somewhere she has always liked to sleep), and as soon as Sasha jumped up there, Sadie couldn't keep her eyes off Sasha. She was focused on Sasha, so I was trying to hold Sadie back and calm her down. That did not help. She soon got turned around and began growling at Sasha. So I started getting louder with her and telling her to get off the couch. I tried to push her down, and she kept growling. Right before she jumped down, she growled towards me and snapped a little bit like she was trying to bite. I love my animals and try not to spank them, but if Sadie hurts me or my cats, she is going to be in a world of trouble. I don't know what to do. She was never like this before. She goes Friday to get her stitches out, so I plan on asking her vet about this, but I wanted to see if I could get yalls input too.
Thanks!
