I too am anti-smack but very pro spray . The key is anticipation. Don’t wait for an attack but closely observe body language and as soon as Ginger fixes Monty with a stare or tenses himself to launch then give him a firm NO and a quick preventive spray. If Ginger repeats his unwanted behaviour then repeat the deterrent. Don’t give up but stick it out for a couple of long days and only separate them when you are not there. Best to use a plant spray as Marcia recommends or even a syringe, but not an aerosol as this could frighten Monty. Caress them both when they are behaving as you want and do this often. It’s important.
Our old dog and new cat (an easier way round ) were sharing a basket within a week .
