I really appreciate all the responses I have gotten regarding descenting my two rescues. I really feel trapped about what to do. Luckily I have a week and a half to really think things over. Today I tried to let Thistle and Ivy play with the other five...within minutes they were fighting and spraying. I would love not to have to descent them but I am worried about my landlord throwing a fit. Any suggestions on socialization of the group. My others did some early fighting but that was all. These two let out blood curdeling screams....and a joyful odor. I tried spraying them with apple bitter to decrease the biting and wrestling..but that did not work. Please offer suggestions.
