Well I have 2 cats which are from the same liter. They are 3.5 yrs old. Lately they have been fighting like they dont know each other. Bruising each other and we had to separate them. I am now looking to find one of the cats a home. It is really scary bc they fight like the other is a stray cats. It's 2 girls and I really dont know what to do. I have 1 in the guest room and let the other one roam around. Help Please! If you have any suggestions.

Hi Sharon,

Most of the time, the cats will eventually adjust to one another's presence. However, there are occasions where a cat is so territorial that he will continue to attack the other cat. I would give it a month or two and then you may need to consider finding the new cat another home for her own safety. If you follow all the steps outlined in this article, however, I think he will eventually accept her.

Are there some cats who will never accept another cat into their territory? I've tried keeping the new young female cat in a separate part of the house, but my older neutered male cat lurks at the door and once or twice has sneaked in, tracked her down and attacked her viciously.

Recently my 17 year old cat, Damanding, died, the other 2 cats got sad so we got a new kitten. My cat rachel who is usualy shy showed him around the house, my other cat precious was aggressive towards him. Now precious is not aggresive to him anymore, but the new kitten, Remi,is now aggresive towards rachel. And I was wondering if you could give me any advice.
