I messed up with my cat introductions so now I'm reintroducing them, its hard living in a small unit but I know it can be done and they will be friends at the end, even if it takes forever
@meddly001 You are correct, sounds like you are on the right track--how did it go? In your case, try baby gates, stacked boxes or some kind of way to create seperation.
Jackson can you describe or show the different levels of cat aggression. Sometimes, we humans see cats fighting and it looks like murder but it's really just cats exercising or showing who's top cat versus I'm going to kill you. Also differences between posturing angry and scary versus the real threat thing.
Xochitl Sandoval There's lots of online resources that explains cat body language. By observing the signs you'll be able to tell if your cats are playing or fighting.
I agree, we just experienced our three cats falling out. Started out really nasty but now all we see is hissing, staring and fluffing up. I’m never sure if this is still seen as aggressive behaviour we should stop and start the process again with or its normal and this is ok for them to display as long as it doesn’t get worse. I’m not sure.
@@michellem5647 Not necessarily. My two boys do that and a few minutes later they will eat side by side. 🤷♀️ I think the key point ist whether one of the cats shows signs of fear towards the other one after such a fight. Because mine don’t.

Jackson you answered a puzzling question I had. My beloved Whitey who recently passed away ( I still have not gotten over losing him, I cry every time I think of him) would get into short fight with my other male Maxxy, it sounded like they were going to kill each other but no blood ever drawn. Eventually these battles stopped and my two boys got along well until whitey’s passing. I recently adopted a new kitten who I named Whitey. She is an angel, she sleeps on my chest, I love her dearly. My original Whitey will always have a special place in my heart. I am a cat lover and I love your videos and the wonderful work you do. Take care.
You're absolutely fabulous! I think over time, observing and living with 2 cats and learning from you ... that I have become catified! When I watch your My cat from hell shows, I'm suggesting your recommendations - lol. So hats off to you. Heartfelt thanks. 💋
Thank you. You have given me some confidence that I am managing correctly 2 cats I have that just do not like each other. Observing body language is definitely one of the things I use to gauge what is happening at all times between my kitties.
I've been following your tips about cats not getting along (they were friends at first but, all the sudden...) and guess what.... It's working!!! Slowly but a lot BETTER. Thank you Jackson. A big thanks for from Portugal
I love Cats, Jackson Galaxy and your fantastics and specials histories.Thank you .In the Brazil, very cats needs , day by day, survive and rescues in the country who hate cats and other animals.
With my 2 cats they were never introduced in the house, one is my adopted cat from where I lived before the other is one of the local stray cats who just up and decided to move in, whether my, then 2, own cats wanted him around or not. I don't have the space, the ameneties or the physicality to separate them, the stray cat weighs more than I can comfortably lift even as a skinny old man (obviously we don;t know how old he is, but he's old enough to have kidney failure) Now that my youngest cat, and the buffer between the remaining 2, has passed on tensions are high, especially as the former stray has to have special food for his kidneys, and is, in general, a jealous bully.
Jackson...I'm about to rehome my cat and I am extremely distraught over it and I dont want to do this but I truly don't know what else to do. I'm afraid I'm gonna come home one day and the bedroom door isn't gonna be shut anymore and one of my cats would of killed the other. They used to love each other until something happened one night (pretty sure a raccoon showed up on my back porch super late and my cats saw it through the door, had been letting the cats on the porch prior to this) all they wanna do is fight and there has been blood so im doing my best to keep them separated. But u cannot find a single answer on the internet about how to train these cats to not see that raccoon fear in each other. People have talked about territory and dominance but I believe my cats are just fucking terrified of one another and I wish I could fix this for both of their sakes. I've tried anxiety pills, sprays, diffuser, drops, chewables, postive reinforcement, feeding them by the door and I cannot afford behavioral specialists in my area. This breaks my heart, I need help. My cats really need your help
:0 a new video! We try to watch everything. I love my cat from hell. lol as I'm writing this smartie (my cat ) is coming over (she can tell your voice from the shows) and is suckling my neck 😺
Would you have any advise on introducing 2 adult cats, one which follows the scared one everywhere while she tries to hide and finishes in a corner pooping herself in that hiding place? We have separated them, but are going to try introducing them again with the advice from your cat introduction video. Do you think we will be bale to put them together with patience and your methods? (we have 3 cats, my 2old ones and the cat of my boyfriend that became part of the family when we started living together, she has no issues with my other cat, only the new one).
My 7 yo female cat used to have my room as her personal place she used to go out a lot. The roof was changed while she was out wandering (my dad's fault) and she just couldn't get inside anymore. Outside of my room she never gets herself pet. So 1 week fighting to catch an uncatchable cat to bring her inside. Since then she doesn't leave my room, and i have to take her out myself. This year she got the bed as hiding place and my mom tells me to send her outside to get sun in the morning. My cat now know the rutine and now hides from me... 2 new cats came, 1 hyper kitten last year (she's fine with him until he plays roughly, which he like a lot) an a 2 yo cat a few months ago, and my 7 yo cat now in my room, only me, trying to pet her she gets agressive. the new cat is so much bigger than all of them, and gets really well with the 1yo kitten (the only one that can handle his hyper playfulness most of the time). Our female cats had always been shy but now my cat is agressive and him being overly agressive with my cat, and she is now overly agressive with everyone making a loop of agressiveness. But the kitten gets really bad influence (for real) from the new cat, while being with my cat alone they can be side by side mind in their own business (in my room), withe the other make cat they bully our 7 and 8 yo females. The other female has a room downstairs, mine is upstairs and my family doesn't help. And talking is not the solution. I'm getting tired and just forcing my cat to be out of my room and handle her fear but my mom comes and shuts her in my room to get her safe, encouraging her fear more. The same that told me to take her out in the day and making my cat fear me while daylight.
Im at a complete loss, i have four cats and im only 18 and jobless atm. I only signed up for one, my eldest boy who was a roughed up street fighter (he lost half his ear and is blind in one eye from fighting) and a very loving cat so i took him in on my own account. One cat i had to keep because my ex girlfriend decided she wasnt cute enough to keep but she couldn't take the cat back to the previous people because they were meth'd up addicts with 15+ unfixed cats already. I was fine with two cats cause they got along well. My brother who lived with us before he went to jail decided to adopt a kitten he stole from our neighbor because they were neglecting it as well as their own two cats that i have to feed sometimes too because they don't bother to, poor babies were skins and bones. Anyway hes gone to jail and for the past two years we've had him my eldest boy used to love him as a kitten but once he grew up the eldest boy started pinning him down by his neck and straight up rip him up with his back claws and my youngest and petrified of him now and runs away when he jus smells him on furniture. My brother wont let me give him up and neither will my conscience but he's stuck with the option of outside or my fathers stuffy room. And now my brothers friend has drop a cat off on us, promised to take her cat after two weeks but never did, she became attached very quick some how and my guilt won't let me give her up either and my other female doesnt like her very much but to be fare she just sorta swats at her. What should i do that would be in best interest for the cats? I know im stupid for keeping them all but they all came from poor situations and i dont want to put them all through losing another family or possibly being killed in a shelter it's stressful on them and myself.
I adopted two cats because the shelter said they were the best of friends and must be adopted together. Now they're always staying apart and going at each other when they do come face to face. I think one just wants to play, based on her body language, but the other one just growls at her, which doesn't bode well.
I had two cats that became best friends easily. A 9 week old kitten and a 10 year old senior. No issues and followed your advice to the T. Two and half years later, now I've recently got a third cat, unexpectedly, and me and my husband are trying to make it work. Now it's been three weeks and the process went from total animosity to just annoyance with each other. The new cat is about 10 months now and I can see it's working. But, he is always trying to play with the other two cats. The other two cats (mainly the senior) doesn't want any of it. For some reason the 10 month old is still seeing the senior her as a target/toy even after the senior maintains dominance (this kitty has lots of energy and play aggression that's hard to keep up with). Obviously the integration is going slowly but I'm wondering how to make the new kitty respect my other cats boundaries or if the nature of cats will take care of it, eventually? Atm my new cat is still separated by a baby gate from the other two. they meet at feeding time and some visits throughout the day.
Should I stop and separate my cats if my resident cat swats at my new cat (been here 3 months)? It never goes past swatting and hissing but im not sure when i should intervene or not. Its always initiated by my resident cat.
I know this is an old video but my cats had a fight yesterday I found one of them bleeding. She almost hit her eye 😢 she seems fine now I've kept them in separate rooms and im trying to feed them by each side of the door but theyll just smell the food and leave and then come back to it later 🤦🏼♀️ I'm also really scared of letting them be in the same room. Any tips would be welcome🙏
@SimplyElena It has been a year, has the cat fighting stopped? I am experiencing never before non recognition aggression after an ill cat's vet visit. Through JGs and other's videos as well as articles, I am learning an absolute must is "scent swapping". Rub a sock over the facial scent glands of the aggressive cats, then rub that scented sock over the face and spine of the attacked cat. Do this repeatedly a few times in one day, then supervise a reintroduction may be in just one room. Continue to allow supervised visits for a day or two.
I've got two cats that aren't necessarily hostile towards one another, but one of them gets hissy when the other gets near her. Is this simply a case where they can be left to agree to disagree?
What if there is no blood or fighting?But one the cats starts hiding?I have 3 cats as of now a 2 years old female,a 9 month old male and recently I adopted a blind kitten which the doctor said is under 2 months old.Anyways I’ve done the introduction and everything was fine when the little one came out in the room with my other two cats,they were eating all together,sleeping pretty close to each other but after a week or so my oldest cat the female has been hiding all day under the bed or on top of a shelf!!I’m really stressed I’ve been losing sleep for 5 days trying to figure out what to do!!Do you believe a reintroduction would be helpful?
My new cat fights my old one and it becomes serious like bleeding sometimes. It's been going on for a year now. I now keep them at separate places but it's just getting so hard. I am so frustrated about this issue. I will try the reintroduction but i feel already defeated. Can my cats ever get along? What should I do?
I need help someone please notice me! so I just moved in to my grandparent’s place and they have 4 adult domestic cats and 1 that is one year old. and then after a few weeks, I decided to adopt a kitten, it’s tiny and he’s 2 months old. when I first got home with the kitten, I handed it to my grandpa to get changed at my room upstairs and to my shock, I heard loud cat noises and my grandma screaming. what happened is my grandpa laid the kitten on the table and one of the cats attacked the kitten, the poor kitten was so scared that he even peed himself. after that, my kitten was shaking but I was able to calm him down. and then since then, my kitten just stays in my room and I always have to keep the door closed or else the otger cats will come in and attack the kitten. now the kitten is 3 months old, BUT still not fond of the others. he already got attacked 4 times, when the door gets opened by the wind or when I accidentally leave the door open. I don’t know what to dooo huhu
So...like in my case, cat 1 started hissing at cat 2 when cat 2 came home from the vet. This has been going on all day basically but they are not fighting or hurting each other. Just ket that continue?
I have 2 female cats who are 2 years old, been best friends since birth but the other these two cats brawled, it all started when my dogs and a cat ran into the basement like they normally do but then everyone jetted upstairs and my two cats followed and a War broke out in the living room, my mom was terrified and one of my dogs pissed himself. I separated them for the night they made contact today I can see they tolerating each other but I don't feel safe enough to leave them alone yet.... They seem still very stand-off-ish still... it's some bizarre, it's actually very stressful for me and the cats, we all sleep togethor; now ... I don't know... one day at a time.
What is ypur advice on calming collars ?? I am so stressed, as much as my cat is about what is happening between her and my male cat, I do not want to re-home..I have had them separated for 8 days now amd my female cat got nutered a week ago..I need help.
hi :) I have a little problems with my new cat. He gets along with my two other cats, but he has a problem when I comes to eating. Besides this he is a great cat, but I'm concerned with how fast he eats. He gets really worked up at our feeding times and circles me and the other cats until a food bowl is placed on the floor, then he darts for it. I know it can't be good for him to eat so fast and I want him to be more relaxed while eating. I am hoping that maybe you can cover this in one of your future videos. Thank you for taking time to read this and I hope you consider this in the future.
So my cats were playing and my male cat was a little too rough on my female cat and she hissed. I made a loud noise and the male ran away and I closed the doors so my female was in her safe space. What should I do next? And did I do the right steps?
My oldest cat 4 years old just hates my new cats we adopted, they are now 2 years old. I have tried everything…nothing works just lucky us we have a big house and they find they way around avoiding each others
My bigger sibling male always with Chase my little sister female. But after three vet visits for my male female is just not having it. Can I try to get them supervised and keep them separated but I thought it was OK well I just had a scuffle this morning and I noticed a big chunk out of my boy kitties nose I’m so upset! So I bought some Fairmon multicat and regular one for upstairs one for downstairs and I have some spray but it takes so long to dry and it smells so bad if it gets in your lungs it’s terrible. Anyway I don’t know what to do they’ve been together over four years they’ve never slept together they tolerate each other. But I think since my boy kitty went to the doctors and came home smelling like alcohol after a blood draw it through his sister for a loop and then he had to go back two more times three times in two weeks was just the tipping point. I did not listen to my instincts. I definitely should’ve re-introduced my vet just said make them smell the same rub some rescue remedy on there for and spray that stuff around the house and it did work the first time but the second and third time I dropped the ball.
Perfect timing my cat Chole (a stray) keeps attacking my cat Jada to the point where she is hiding all day, she won’t come down to eat or come out of her hiding place. My cat Tabitha the oldest and the fatty keeps Chole in check and let’s her know to back the hell up.
I watched a cat video and the cat in the video did a specific meowley sound and it set my two cats off and they tried to kill each other, yowling at each other and growling. I had to separate them. I can no longer watch cat videos in my house for fear of the cats being set off.
So i have watched ur videos for a long time never commenting but i honestly am not sure what do to. I have two male cats one if 5 one is 2. The 5 yr old raised the youngest as i found him abandoned. My oldest is neutered- but my youngest cannot be due to a heart murmur (the vet has said) and my boys got along great until about a week and a half ago. 💔 i moved into an apt and they both have ample space, toys, climbing areas and seperate snuggle areas to rest in- but my oldest now hates my youngest. Stanky, the oldest, hides all the time or stays in the bedroom. 😢 while my youngest, taco, tries to get him to play even bringing stanky toys. But stanky ain't having it. He hisses and growls at taco all the time - idk what to do. How can i make them get along again 🥹❤️
Help! My two girls used to love eachother. The 2 year old all of a sudden hates the 1 year old. Hisses & growls at her, has tried attacking her a couple of times. The 1 year old has hurt feelings, I can tell. What happened?! How do I get the 2 year old to love the 1 year old like she used to?!
My adult male cat attacked his sister due to the fact he wasn't fed at an appropriate time now my female will not stop hissing even at me her sister or her brother I have separated the brother and am working towards separating the two females from each other it is not as easy as it sounds and I cannot get one of the females out from under my couch at all without her attacking me none of this is easy I wish I would have gotten home many hours before the time I did get home cuz my male cat attacked his sister which created a war between all three of them they're all siblings and they've all grown up since birth in the same house and have never had this type of issue before I'm hoping that this can be resolved
My cat has been living in a stressful house for almost a year now after I moved in with my boyfriend and his 2 cats (fixed, male and female). My cat is barely 7 lbs and the sweetest little thing, skittish of strangers and garbage trucks outside. She's great with other cats once she knows they're no threat and has cohabitated lots. The problem is my boyfriends cats are straight up bullies, particularly his female. The introduction went horribly because my bf got impatient and now my cat is absolutely terrified of his female, panicking anytime she sees her. The male is better but has a weird fixation on my cat still. The two females can eat side by side but will absolutely not come close to the other on either side of a baby gate, my cat just panics and runs away. There's been many cat fights despite our best to keep them in separate rooms, and my cat has had blood drawn 3 times now. My boyfriend doesn't seem to think this is a problem, my cat always living in fear and anxiety. He says it's their wild instincts and if someone loses an eye, oh well. His female displays: -face marking -tail swishing -mrowling -no hissing or pinned ears, just head low and tail swishing -actively looking for my cat -watches my cat for an opening to attack for no reason (while shes grooming or sleeping) My cat always goes into fear aggression mode: Ears pinned, low to the ground, hissing, she's even pooped herself a few times during a fight. This has been going on for months now with no headway. My cat is not treat or toy motivated with the other cats in the room, shes always too scared and goes on the defensive. We don't know what else to do now that my cat basically has PTSD.
@wolfbane155 Hello, it's been 2 years since your comment. I am hoping the issue has been resolved but felt compelled to still reply... You hv to be the guardian for your own cat. Before I give suggestions I've learned, is the cat aggression issue resolved?
@Tee Hi, we've since moved to a house but my cat is still skittish. We added a 4th addition and the new cat is totally unafraid of anything. She put my partners bully cat in her place simply by standing her ground and not being intimidated by her. My skittish cat has made friends with the new girl but is still very untrustworthy around the tuxedos. They can be in the same room now but always supervised. When we leave the house either my cat goes in our room or we put the bullies downstairs while we're gone. It's better than it was but not perfect
@@wolfbane155 Thank you for replying... I am happy to hear of the improvement. 2 Suggestions: 1. Consider investing in Feliway Optum or Multi Cat diffuser(s) in areas where they hang out the most. It may help, most hv results but not all. 2. See what happens when you take a sock and rub it over the facial glands of one of the bullies, then rub it on the skittish cat. Do this a few times over one or two days. 3. Separate the skittish cat and play with her alone--it builds her confidence. Do this regularly, may be once a day. #2 and #3 I got from Jackson Galaxy. Lmk if these work/help.
I hope you read this Cat daddy! I have two resident adult cats. A male and a female. I also have a small female yorkie. The house was harmonious. Then, My sister passed away. She had two cats. Also a male and a female. I couldn’t bare let them go to a stranger or to an animal shelter. They are all I have left of my sister. I decided to keep them. I took all steps of introducing you and my vet recommended. It took two months of separation. It didn’t work. I’m sure I must have done something wrong. My resident female cat stopped coming down off her high cat tree. She hisses, the other cats seem to be mocking her by intentionally laying near the cat tree and staring at her. I don’t want to have to get rid of my sisters cats. Help!
@Red Dawn It has been 2 years, is your issue resolved? I hv learned that scent swapping is highly important. Take a sock and rub the scent from the other cat's facial glands, then rub on intimidated cat. Repeat a few times over a day. Separate her from them if necessary, then try a supervised reintroduction.
I live in a small home where I have no way of separating the 2 cats, and neither likes being caged. What other options do I have? They've been at war since a vet visit and when everything seem to improve, they go downhill again. It gets to a point where one cat gets so terrified and stalked she pees and poops everywhere. Sometimes, the other one backs off after some hissing, other times that other one goes high strung and attacks.... they're fighting so bad often when I am at work and they are left alone. The one being stalked is still on medication after some dental extractions so I'm not happy that she's so stressed. Please help!
Once upon a time I had the good fortune to have 5 cats that got along beautifully. I was so spoiled! Presently I have a super sweet laid back 13 pound Ragdoll girl and a sassy 4.8 pound shaded silver teacup Persian. I appreciate the Ragdoll creating an environment where the Persian can be head cat and unafraid, but when the tiny Persian slaps her laid back Sister for being in her way, it is easy to be offended on behalf of the Ragdoll. Ah well.
I have a 1 year old cat since she is a kitten. I rescued a 8 year old from a kill shelter. They both are loving cats but they don’t like each other. They eat together. They can be in the same room but if they walk pass each other it’s not good. No contact fighting but they chase each other and sometimes it sounds like they are killing each other but they haven’t hurt each other. I feel horrible. I separate them at night. They take turns sleeping with me. Then one is crying at the door. I am lost. I did the introduction many times.
@LisaCrazed I recently bought a 42" Go PetClub Carrier...little pricy but works great for keeping your kitty in at night or for separation reasons. I have 2.
I can’t tell if my kittens love or hate each other. The smaller kitten lets out a blood curling yeeeeoooowwww almost every other 5 seconds when they’re sparring. The bigger kitten seems to enjoy messing with her. They appear to be mortal enemies. Then out of the blue when they’re tired out, i see the little kitten and the bigger aggressive one napping with their belly’s facing each other to the side. It’s so confusing.
i have 2 male cats (litter mates) which i had to separate for a year (october 2022 to october 2023) since one of them had gotten really sick for a long time. while on separation, each of them realize there is another cat in the house but they never see each other. when i finally ready to reintroduced them, I've already prepared by neutering both firstly... i was hoping that the meeting process will go smooth, which wasn't the case at all... the ex-sick cat becomes very aggresive toward the healthy one. i've tried jackson's reintroducing method for a few months now but it still doesn't work. I'm totally at my wit's end now... does anyone has a similar experience? 😭 please help, i really don't want to give up one of my cat...
My cat is a really sweet cat around us at home. But when someone else comes into the house, she gets all defensive and hides. She sometimes bites, and even then I can't get her to calm down. How can I help my cat see that our guests aren't going to hurt her? She isn't a bad cat, and she doesn't go crazy when someone walks into the house. She just doesn't like strangers, even if she has met them before. Is that normal for a cat?
Ask your guests not to approach or try to touch her; if possible they should ignore her completely and respect her space. She may also feel more comfortable observing visitors from a perch high off the floor. You might also keep treats on hand that guests can offer her when they arrive; that way she'll associate visitors with something positive. In any case don't force the issue -- trying to persuade her to be friendly to outsiders could produce the opposite result. Good luck!
You're welcome! Who knows -- maybe someday she'll feel comfortable enough to approach people who come visit. Let her take the lead so she feels safe and in control. You're a good cat guardian to care so much!
You talked about doing a litterbox video when you were live on Facebook. Could you explain why our cat scrapes not in the litter once done with his business but very frantically on the floor and the plastic sides of the box? He has always done this and different litter, boxes or more frequent cleaning doesn't seem to help
Have you tried different litters? I have 2 males out of 5 cats that don't cover theirs and they do the scratching outside the litter box and walls, I just go with it since it doesn't seem to bother anything
Yes, he has always done this and no matter what we do he continues. It is only a small problem when he does it at night because he sometimes is so loud with it that he wakes us up. I just got interested in why he does it since Jackson mentioned talking about litter boxes :-) there must be some logic behind it xD
I find that a slight mist of airspray in the air ( the ones you use to air off a dusty computer) helps to stop them from fighting- if and when it happens. They both run in separate directions. 😊
This may be different. One came to us as a stray kitten. We took it in to be an indoor/outdoor cat and it has all it's street smarts. The other is older, stronger, and challenges everything that hisses at it. I shows a few times a week and is very nice and social to people. However, my cats are very nervous around him or her. Too fluffy for us to tell. Lol. A couple days ago, it fought with our cat. Our cat has seniority and we still see the white cat as a stray. We decided it's not welcome back, and we ran it off. But it came back today with the most pitiful displays of regret as it refuse to run away and was prepared to be punished, but we can't bring ourselves to be mean to animals, so I just went back inside not refilling the food bowl to give the cat a hint. I feel I need to provide a home where my cats feel safe. But when the white cat comes, they are very timid. The white cat seems like the head honcho around these parts. Anyway, I don't see a way to to get these particular cats to become friends so easily. But this white cat has been friendly to us, sociable, etc for nearly 6 years now. It years my heart out to shoo it away. Do you think I should try another solution?
Thank you...I always feel so awkward after something like that, then just have to wing it, it's good to know that most all of this I do, thanks again :-)
This is so helpful! My 2 cats just had a fight for the first time and we don't know what happened. 😯 After seperating them and slowly reintroducing them, everything is going good again. Yes, we do have an eye on them both, just in case. 🙂 Thank you so much for sharing your expierence and giving us tips. 😃
Did you let them just hiss at each other and such as long as they weren't fighting? I'm dealing with cat 1 hissing at cat 2 after cat 2cgot home from the vet, but no violence.
@@jasonwhite166 Yes, I let them both be cats, but with an eye in them, just in case they might fight. Since Cat 2 was at the Vet, that is the issue. Cat 1 smells different ( like a doctor/sterile/vaccinated etc. ). As soon as the smell is gone, they should be a Team again. ☺
just broke up a fight between my 5 month old kitten. and my 13 week old kitten they both are fighting for the alpha spot in this house the 13 week old kitten starts 88% of the fights from what iv seen. and right now she is in time out for the night. but they will be broke of this habit just going to take little time. and also my 13 week old kitten is getting better she is fighting off the upper respiratory infection finely. its good to see her feeling better and eating and drinking. and being playful.
i have two cats 5 y/o that always got along well until we moved to a house where others cats come around. first they started fighting the other cats, but later started fighting with each other. now i have them always in separate rooms (which is really stressful even to me) because they attack each other everytime they see, even if it is through a door. dont know what to do... :/
Hey :) just descovered these videos and I'm so excited to learn and make my cats life better :), I have a question about how the tail can give of emotions, my cat Jax seems to only move her tail fast when she is excited and full of energy, is this normal?
This happened yesterday my small cat and my neiboors cat was fighting and also WHAT ABOUT IF THE CAT IS HISSING OR MAKING WEIRD SOUND WHAT DOES IT MEAN???
Thankfully never had that with my tabby mafia in the past, just have one cat these days and for the first time last night heard that whole spitting and hissing 'who the heck are you! Am new and want this garden! Oh hell no dis mah patch!' Coming from my kitchen. Went to investigate and Erin's on the back windowsill, outside looking down at some intruder Cat, thankfully was able to stay calm, talk Erin (no doubt saying dis your lucky night furrball, if not for meh hooman watching! As she came in) and averted a kitteh punch up. Had to give Erin some sweeties and plenty of cuddles and she spend the next few hours following me everytime I moved, but all is good in the hood again 😊😊😊
Good morning jackson. I'd like to pick your brain for a bit. My 2 older cats have always had a love/hate relationship but yesterday a neighbors cat was outside & scared Jasper (my younger male cat 3 years old). He started "growling and yelling" and Dax (my 1st cat 4 years old and they're both fixed)they got into a fight. She won't even give him a chance now so we had to separate them. This morning I opened the door, just a little, and she immediately started hissing & growl at him. What should I do? We didn't get much sleep last night due to Jasper kept on digging under the door.
Hey.. i just adopted a cat about 4 weeks ago... And my old cat has been aggressive to the new cat... After about 2 weeks i started to gave them food together and they look good but after finishing up they started to growling... Idk what to do noww.... Am i rushing them ?? Or should i follows the instruction??
Everything else aside, where did you get that chair? I want a chair that big soooo bad but ugh, it's so hard to find good furniture in an affordable price.
I gotta question... What to do if your cat mysteriously left without a clue and hasn’t come back.... it’s been a week and I’am really worried, but I heard that (especially males) leave the home and explore the neighbourhood or something... looking for a mate? Idk I need help, I miss him dearly and I’am worried if he got catnapped or ran over... he usually doesn’t leave the yard! Btw I don’t see no cats on the road.
Hi. I had my rescued cat for 7 years now. 1 week ago I brought another kitten that was rescued from my work place. My cat hate him. I tried to follow steps you give, but she doesn't pay attention to toys if he is around. She keeps hissing and tries to attack him. Help me please.
I have a question Jackson!!! Male cats have been coming around the windows and somehow made them aggressive I went and got them fixed hoping the situation works... is there something I can do to make males stay away, and if I follow ur steps will they have a fight again???
Jackson Please Help! My kitten is constantly attacked and stalked by my neighbours cat. I don't know what to do. My kitten has to go outside just like the other cats do but I can't allow it cuz of the attacks. How do I stop it,he's just n kitten and their teenagers. Please???🙀
Hello,Jason;) found your awesome tv-shows and videos lately. Amazed with your knowledge and experience!!!👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 Really in desperate need of help... I adopted a cat... he’s a difficult case: 5 years old, had bunch of health issues and the worst part is - he’s feral... Feral and psychologically traumatized. He’s scared from me. It’s been a month already since I have him, but no progress in our relationships))) Please help me to make his life better, help me to prove him that I’m not a danger. I wish he could know how much love he can get apart from being nicely fed;)
Jackson and UA-cam I honestly have no idea where else to go for am explanation for this. Something very odd happened just a few minutes ago. I have three cats one is a senior around 12 we assume. The other two are younger 2 - 3. Our older cat was a stray so we let him go outside at night for a while. Then we let him in. Tonight I had a bit of an issue getting him in but it was quickly resolved by a small wait. I let him in, close and lock the door then all hell breaks loose behind me. I turn around and I see one of the younger cats (Tiggs) and the older cat (Lucky) facing eachother. Lucky is doing his standard "angry airplane" growl. But Tiggs is making a sound I've never heard before. For lack of a better term he sounded like a wolf howling! This goes on for a while until they go into the dining room. And it starts up again. They have a conversation right in front of me Tiggs still occationaly making that noise and Lucky still growling. Then they calm down a bit and just sit there staring at eachother. It is worth noting these two get along very very well. They sleep together, play fight (which Lucky would never do with the other cat), and even drink and eat out of the same bowl. But NEVER have they ever done anything like this. Insight and a professional or otherwise opinion would be lovely. Because honestly I just want to know what the hell just went down in front of me.
Hi, my name is Erjon i'm from Macedonia. I have 1 male cat, 1 female and 1 male dog. They are doing well with each other not fighting but sometimes another cat comes here and want to kill my male cat. I take that cat off but in the next day he comes back. Pls tell me what to do. One day i wasnt home and he hurt my cat so bad that my cat was limping. Now my cat is growing up and being strong but still the other cat is bigger.
I have two cats and one is a bully. He waits around the corner for my other cat and attacks her! They will eat next to each other if I am feeding them wet food, but other than that, they hate each other. My cat that is getting attacked lives on the counter tops and above on cat trees. I separate them upstairs/downstairs during the day to give my one cat a break from the bully cat. They are both fixed and I have had them since they were kittens. I take time to play with each of them every single day, but I can't get them to like each other... it makes me very sad because they are both very cuddly with me, but separately..
I know these are old comments but just in case I figured I'd add my experience so far. I've slowly started to do reintroduction using the same methods of normal introduction styles and it has been a slow race but the change is immense. My cats were fighting viciously, so I separated the more aggressive cat into a room by himself and let the other one roam. I would switch them out every other day to get them used to each others smells. I also started feeding them on opposite sides of the door and it worked so well I could open the door and they would watch each other as they ate which is a really good association to have. I would say start off slow and go into it like they never even met before. If you watch his my cat from hell videos about cat fighting it really is pretty much what I did. It's taken a little longer than I'd expect but nonetheless. My cats arent bestfriends right now but they arent trying to kill each other so I'd say some progress is better than none because they were much more miserable before, as was I. They will probably cry a lot at first but the payout is definitely worth it! I hope this finds you and your kittes well 😊 much love to my fellow kitty parents.
It’s been 4 months since the new guy (1 years old) is in our house. I did everything you adviced Daddy Jackson. Everything! But he still bullies my girl (9 years old). Everytime he has a chance to bite her throat or frighten her (No blood!), she has an asthma attack. So I can’t set them free and find a way to communicate. I believe we’re hopeless, right? Oh how I wish you were here in Istanbul.
My cat bully’s my sister’s cat despite knowing & living with him since she was “8 weeks” old (the pet store had us come back almost a week after I met her so she’d be a legal 8 weeks, god knows how long her litter was there) but she’s never known how to cat. They rarely fight until blood is drawn (maybe 5 times in 9 years) but they yowl & tussle roughly once a fortnight, so they do try to work things out. My cat is crazy possessive of me, it’s only safe to pet SEK if she’s not around or if she turned down affection first. She’s also intensely territorial about my room & the hallway outside my room which is where they fight the most (it’s also where she “plays” ambush & swipes at people’s ankles). She’s just a very dominant cat with no idea her “play” is inappropriate because they took her from her mother far too soon. How do I help them live their best lives? I don’t need them to love each other but I don’t want them to hate each other either. Poor SEK is getting picked on constantly & I don’t blame him for turning & “attacking her” sometimes (more like telling her off).
I have a question a little bit off topic here, but I was thinking maybe I could find some help. So I just move in a new apartment cause I broke up with my ex bf who was terrorizing one of my cats (I have 2 cats, Vivi and Moustif and he have one cat, Calou, he was terrorizing Vivi, the only female). She always found refuge close to my desk in a piece of furniture. Her only "safe zone" was about 1m² around my desk when I was present. So I ditch the guy and move. But now she still won't go to the windows and stay around my desk all day long. What can I do to help her regain confidence and feel safe in all the apartment ? PS : My ex bf was thinking that 3 cats in 50m² are too much so he want me to get rid of her, that's why he was acting like that.
Bella Not all cat food is of the same quality. Try and choose one that is high in protein and low in carbs/grains/cereals ... which are used to bulk the food out. If you want to feed your kittens raw meat you need to start from an early age once they are eating solid food. My cats won't eat raw meat at all but love steamed chicken breast. Discover what they like.
The dynamics of our household changes a lot.. ((story short of ten years: Had two cats, the older was the boss over the kitten, they were fine a bit fighting. Then we added a dog, cats ruled still. Then we also got another cat, she was alright. Then the older cat passed away.. Dog took over and ruled them. Then we had another cat a year ago, this time a male. Dog passed away, the male cat/ third cat took the crown. I'm really confused honestly, it changes a lot. All three cats now fight a bit around but nothing too serious, I'm just worried it will since my second cat is already, ten years old? And the male cat is much younger and twice her size. Altho I'm sure things will continue to be fine. They all mostly live in the garden we have, so they have a large area and stuff to do, a few roofs around too that they jump on. I just let them be, or sometimes call out their names, they usually stop and bring their tail back up and go to me or run off haha
Do you have any advice for moving cats to a new house? They've lived their whole lives in the old house so I wanted the transition to be smooth as possible
Kaitlin Greathouse make sure not to replace or wash their litter box. Don't wash their scent soakers like blankets and other things. Most likely your cat will be confused and find a hiding place, so place the litter box close to that proximity. I made the mistake of completely replacing my cats litter box and when he finally came out from hiding he went potty in the corner out of confusion.
My cats JUST exploded. We have 3. Originally it was 4. I had two and my husband had two when we started dating. One of mine has passed away since and we moved but could only keep 2 cats so my mom kept my cat and we kept his two. We have moved again and took my kitty back and since reintroducing them together things have only gotten worse. They never got along well before hand. But we also never had to deal with major injuries. 8 stiches 4 on either side of the tail on my cat. BooBoo. She's not an innocent party in the fighting. Nugget and her are equally to blame for all the fighting and our 3rd cat only gets involved if one of the other two attacks her. All 3 are females, all 3 are fixed. And they are all around 5-7 years old so we have a number of years to go with them. And we don't plan on ever splitting them up again as living at my mom's was really stressful for Booboo as she has 3 cats of her own. While BooBoos stiches were healing she was down in the basement with the door shut. My brother his gf and their baby live down there so she had plenty of attention which she really craves. She loves to cuddle. Before the whole incident none of the cats were "allowed" down stairs because our cats will pee on the floor in inactive areas of the house and since only 1/3rd of the basement is occupied by humans we thought it best to keep them out. They still had a litter box and food and water incase they got stuck down there on accident but the door was closed 90% of the time. BooBoos stiches are off but we keep the basement door open now for her and the other cats but she's pretty much claimed the basement as hers and the other cats don't bug her down there as much. I worry tho. Because my brother is moving out soon into his own place with his gf and their baby. And my husband and I Don't go downstairs alot. I worry BooBoo will get lonely even tho we don't shut her down there, because she never comes up. She's scared of Nugget and will not come up stairs for longer than 30 mins at a time. I'm sure she will once my brothers not down there anymore but im.worried the fighting will come back. We've had one week since the stiches came out and the door was opened so the cats can mingle and it's been peaceful. But I really Don't know what to do if it goes back to the way it was.
You may want to add something around the top of your backyard fencing to keep your cat in and the other cats out. Something that cannot be easily climbed by either kitty. That way, neighbor cat won't be able to bother yours anymore.
It only took one stray cat to be spotted on the other side of the screen door for all hell to break loose. Three days of yowling and hissing
I messed up with my cat introductions so now I'm reintroducing them, its hard living in a small unit but I know it can be done and they will be friends at the end, even if it takes forever
@meddly001
You are correct, sounds like you are on the right track--how did it go?
In your case, try baby gates, stacked boxes or some kind of way to create seperation.
Isn't everything now okay with your cats?
Mine can't get along with each other for almost 7 months
Jackson can you describe or show the different levels of cat aggression. Sometimes, we humans see cats fighting and it looks like murder but it's really just cats exercising or showing who's top cat versus I'm going to kill you. Also differences between posturing angry and scary versus the real threat thing.
Xochitl Sandoval There's lots of online resources that explains cat body language. By observing the signs you'll be able to tell if your cats are playing or fighting.
I agree, we just experienced our three cats falling out. Started out really nasty but now all we see is hissing, staring and fluffing up. I’m never sure if this is still seen as aggressive behaviour we should stop and start the process again with or its normal and this is ok for them to display as long as it doesn’t get worse. I’m not sure.
You can most def tell if it’s a fight. It’s screeching, crying...fur flies & both cats run like crazy one chasing one running away
@@michellem5647
Not necessarily.
My two boys do that and a few minutes later they will eat side by side. 🤷♀️
I think the key point ist whether one of the cats shows signs of fear towards the other one after such a fight. Because mine don’t.
Jackson you answered a puzzling question I had. My beloved Whitey who recently passed away ( I still have not gotten over losing him, I cry every time I think of him) would get into short fight with my other male Maxxy, it sounded like they were going to kill each other but no blood ever drawn. Eventually these battles stopped and my two boys got along well until whitey’s passing. I recently adopted a new kitten who I named Whitey. She is an angel, she sleeps on my chest, I love her dearly. My original Whitey will always have a special place in my heart. I am a cat lover and I love your videos and the wonderful work you do. Take care.
You're absolutely fabulous! I think over time, observing and living with 2 cats and learning from you ... that I have become catified! When I watch your My cat from hell shows, I'm suggesting your recommendations - lol. So hats off to you. Heartfelt thanks. 💋
Thank you. You have given me some confidence that I am managing correctly 2 cats I have that just do not like each other. Observing body language is definitely one of the things I use to gauge what is happening at all times between my kitties.
I've been following your tips about cats not getting along (they were friends at first but, all the sudden...) and guess what.... It's working!!! Slowly but a lot BETTER. Thank you Jackson. A big thanks for from Portugal
Can i ask you what you did to improve the situation between your cats? I m living in now and it's such a mess 😢
Me too
I love your purple!!
I really appreciate your advice!!!!
I absolutely love the logical, humane advice that you always give out.😀❤️❤️
I love u sooo much! I volunteer at kitten angels and always recommend to new parents and fosters to watch your videos! U have taught me soo much!
I love Cats, Jackson Galaxy and your fantastics and specials histories.Thank you .In the Brazil, very cats needs , day by day, survive and rescues in the country who hate cats and other animals.
I love you Jackson
With my 2 cats they were never introduced in the house, one is my adopted cat from where I lived before the other is one of the local stray cats who just up and decided to move in, whether my, then 2, own cats wanted him around or not. I don't have the space, the ameneties or the physicality to separate them, the stray cat weighs more than I can comfortably lift even as a skinny old man (obviously we don;t know how old he is, but he's old enough to have kidney failure) Now that my youngest cat, and the buffer between the remaining 2, has passed on tensions are high, especially as the former stray has to have special food for his kidneys, and is, in general, a jealous bully.
Jackson...I'm about to rehome my cat and I am extremely distraught over it and I dont want to do this but I truly don't know what else to do. I'm afraid I'm gonna come home one day and the bedroom door isn't gonna be shut anymore and one of my cats would of killed the other. They used to love each other until something happened one night (pretty sure a raccoon showed up on my back porch super late and my cats saw it through the door, had been letting the cats on the porch prior to this) all they wanna do is fight and there has been blood so im doing my best to keep them separated. But u cannot find a single answer on the internet about how to train these cats to not see that raccoon fear in each other. People have talked about territory and dominance but I believe my cats are just fucking terrified of one another and I wish I could fix this for both of their sakes. I've tried anxiety pills, sprays, diffuser, drops, chewables, postive reinforcement, feeding them by the door and I cannot afford behavioral specialists in my area. This breaks my heart, I need help. My cats really need your help
:0 a new video! We try to watch everything. I love my cat from hell. lol as I'm writing this smartie (my cat ) is coming over (she can tell your voice from the shows) and is suckling my neck 😺
I have a book called 'how to tell what your cat is thinking' it's really good.
That's my cats name because she is a tortoiseshell and has lots of colours like smarties.
Would you have any advise on introducing 2 adult cats, one which follows the scared one everywhere while she tries to hide and finishes in a corner pooping herself in that hiding place?
We have separated them, but are going to try introducing them again with the advice from your cat introduction video. Do you think we will be bale to put them together with patience and your methods? (we have 3 cats, my 2old ones and the cat of my boyfriend that became part of the family when we started living together, she has no issues with my other cat, only the new one).
My 7 yo female cat used to have my room as her personal place she used to go out a lot. The roof was changed while she was out wandering (my dad's fault) and she just couldn't get inside anymore. Outside of my room she never gets herself pet. So 1 week fighting to catch an uncatchable cat to bring her inside. Since then she doesn't leave my room, and i have to take her out myself. This year she got the bed as hiding place and my mom tells me to send her outside to get sun in the morning. My cat now know the rutine and now hides from me... 2 new cats came, 1 hyper kitten last year (she's fine with him until he plays roughly, which he like a lot) an a 2 yo cat a few months ago, and my 7 yo cat now in my room, only me, trying to pet her she gets agressive. the new cat is so much bigger than all of them, and gets really well with the 1yo kitten (the only one that can handle his hyper playfulness most of the time). Our female cats had always been shy but now my cat is agressive and him being overly agressive with my cat, and she is now overly agressive with everyone making a loop of agressiveness. But the kitten gets really bad influence (for real) from the new cat, while being with my cat alone they can be side by side mind in their own business (in my room), withe the other make cat they bully our 7 and 8 yo females. The other female has a room downstairs, mine is upstairs and my family doesn't help. And talking is not the solution. I'm getting tired and just forcing my cat to be out of my room and handle her fear but my mom comes and shuts her in my room to get her safe, encouraging her fear more. The same that told me to take her out in the day and making my cat fear me while daylight.
I have 2 brother cats and they fight every so often. Sometimes the fights get rough like fur flying blood being drawn. Any suggestions?
Im at a complete loss, i have four cats and im only 18 and jobless atm. I only signed up for one, my eldest boy who was a roughed up street fighter (he lost half his ear and is blind in one eye from fighting) and a very loving cat so i took him in on my own account. One cat i had to keep because my ex girlfriend decided she wasnt cute enough to keep but she couldn't take the cat back to the previous people because they were meth'd up addicts with 15+ unfixed cats already. I was fine with two cats cause they got along well. My brother who lived with us before he went to jail decided to adopt a kitten he stole from our neighbor because they were neglecting it as well as their own two cats that i have to feed sometimes too because they don't bother to, poor babies were skins and bones. Anyway hes gone to jail and for the past two years we've had him my eldest boy used to love him as a kitten but once he grew up the eldest boy started pinning him down by his neck and straight up rip him up with his back claws and my youngest and petrified of him now and runs away when he jus smells him on furniture. My brother wont let me give him up and neither will my conscience but he's stuck with the option of outside or my fathers stuffy room. And now my brothers friend has drop a cat off on us, promised to take her cat after two weeks but never did, she became attached very quick some how and my guilt won't let me give her up either and my other female doesnt like her very much but to be fare she just sorta swats at her. What should i do that would be in best interest for the cats? I know im stupid for keeping them all but they all came from poor situations and i dont want to put them all through losing another family or possibly being killed in a shelter it's stressful on them and myself.
I adopted two cats because the shelter said they were the best of friends and must be adopted together. Now they're always staying apart and going at each other when they do come face to face. I think one just wants to play, based on her body language, but the other one just growls at her, which doesn't bode well.
I had two cats that became best friends easily. A 9 week old kitten and a 10 year old senior. No issues and followed your advice to the T. Two and half years later, now I've recently got a third cat, unexpectedly, and me and my husband are trying to make it work. Now it's been three weeks and the process went from total animosity to just annoyance with each other. The new cat is about 10 months now and I can see it's working. But, he is always trying to play with the other two cats. The other two cats (mainly the senior) doesn't want any of it. For some reason the 10 month old is still seeing the senior her as a target/toy even after the senior maintains dominance (this kitty has lots of energy and play aggression that's hard to keep up with). Obviously the integration is going slowly but I'm wondering how to make the new kitty respect my other cats boundaries or if the nature of cats will take care of it, eventually? Atm my new cat is still separated by a baby gate from the other two. they meet at feeding time and some visits throughout the day.
theatlasmarch you ever have a catfight?
Ok thanks
Should I stop and separate my cats if my resident cat swats at my new cat (been here 3 months)? It never goes past swatting and hissing but im not sure when i should intervene or not. Its always initiated by my resident cat.
I know this is an old video but my cats had a fight yesterday I found one of them bleeding. She almost hit her eye 😢 she seems fine now I've kept them in separate rooms and im trying to feed them by each side of the door but theyll just smell the food and leave and then come back to it later 🤦🏼♀️ I'm also really scared of letting them be in the same room. Any tips would be welcome🙏
@SimplyElena
It has been a year, has the cat fighting stopped?
I am experiencing never before non recognition aggression after an ill cat's vet visit. Through JGs and other's videos as well as articles, I am learning an absolute must is "scent swapping". Rub a sock over the facial scent glands of the aggressive cats, then rub that scented sock over the face and spine of the attacked cat. Do this repeatedly a few times in one day, then supervise a reintroduction may be in just one room. Continue to allow supervised visits for a day or two.
This happened to my kitten I found him bleeding on his righy eye literally just few hours ago. I put them on separate rooms for now
You’re me and my boyfriend’s hero omg we love you !!
I've got two cats that aren't necessarily hostile towards one another, but one of them gets hissy when the other gets near her. Is this simply a case where they can be left to agree to disagree?
What if there is no blood or fighting?But one the cats starts hiding?I have 3 cats as of now a 2 years old female,a 9 month old male and recently I adopted a blind kitten which the doctor said is under 2 months old.Anyways I’ve done the introduction and everything was fine when the little one came out in the room with my other two cats,they were eating all together,sleeping pretty close to each other but after a week or so my oldest cat the female has been hiding all day under the bed or on top of a shelf!!I’m really stressed I’ve been losing sleep for 5 days trying to figure out what to do!!Do you believe a reintroduction would be helpful?
My new cat fights my old one and it becomes serious like bleeding sometimes. It's been going on for a year now. I now keep them at separate places but it's just getting so hard. I am so frustrated about this issue. I will try the reintroduction but i feel already defeated. Can my cats ever get along? What should I do?
I need help someone please notice me! so I just moved in to my grandparent’s place and they have 4 adult domestic cats and 1 that is one year old. and then after a few weeks, I decided to adopt a kitten, it’s tiny and he’s 2 months old.
when I first got home with the kitten, I handed it to my grandpa to get changed at my room upstairs and to my shock, I heard loud cat noises and my grandma screaming. what happened is my grandpa laid the kitten on the table and one of the cats attacked the kitten, the poor kitten was so scared that he even peed himself.
after that, my kitten was shaking but I was able to calm him down. and then since then, my kitten just stays in my room and I always have to keep the door closed or else the otger cats will come in and attack the kitten.
now the kitten is 3 months old, BUT still not fond of the others. he already got attacked 4 times, when the door gets opened by the wind or when I accidentally leave the door open. I don’t know what to dooo huhu
So...like in my case, cat 1 started hissing at cat 2 when cat 2 came home from the vet. This has been going on all day basically but they are not fighting or hurting each other. Just ket that continue?
I have 2 female cats who are 2 years old, been best friends since birth but the other these two cats brawled, it all started when my dogs and a cat ran into the basement like they normally do but then everyone jetted upstairs and my two cats followed and a War broke out in the living room, my mom was terrified and one of my dogs pissed himself. I separated them for the night they made contact today I can see they tolerating each other but I don't feel safe enough to leave them alone yet.... They seem still very stand-off-ish still... it's some bizarre, it's actually very stressful for me and the cats, we all sleep togethor; now ... I don't know... one day at a time.
What is ypur advice on calming collars ?? I am so stressed, as much as my cat is about what is happening between her and my male cat, I do not want to re-home..I have had them separated for 8 days now amd my female cat got nutered a week ago..I need help.
hi :) I have a little problems with my new cat. He gets along with my two other cats, but he has a problem when I comes to eating. Besides this he is a great cat, but I'm concerned with how fast he eats. He gets really worked up at our feeding times and circles me and the other cats until a food bowl is placed on the floor, then he darts for it. I know it can't be good for him to eat so fast and I want him to be more relaxed while eating. I am hoping that maybe you can cover this in one of your future videos. Thank you for taking time to read this and I hope you consider this in the future.
So my cats were playing and my male cat was a little too rough on my female cat and she hissed. I made a loud noise and the male ran away and I closed the doors so my female was in her safe space. What should I do next? And did I do the right steps?
My oldest cat 4 years old just hates my new cats we adopted, they are now 2 years old. I have tried everything…nothing works just lucky us we have a big house and they find they way around avoiding each others
My bigger sibling male always with Chase my little sister female. But after three vet visits for my male female is just not having it. Can I try to get them supervised and keep them separated but I thought it was OK well I just had a scuffle this morning and I noticed a big chunk out of my boy kitties nose I’m so upset! So I bought some Fairmon multicat and regular one for upstairs one for downstairs and I have some spray but it takes so long to dry and it smells so bad if it gets in your lungs it’s terrible. Anyway I don’t know what to do they’ve been together over four years they’ve never slept together they tolerate each other. But I think since my boy kitty went to the doctors and came home smelling like alcohol after a blood draw it through his sister for a loop and then he had to go back two more times three times in two weeks was just the tipping point. I did not listen to my instincts. I definitely should’ve re-introduced my vet just said make them smell the same rub some rescue remedy on there for and spray that stuff around the house and it did work the first time but the second and third time I dropped the ball.
Perfect timing my cat Chole (a stray) keeps attacking my cat Jada to the point where she is hiding all day, she won’t come down to eat or come out of her hiding place. My cat Tabitha the oldest and the fatty keeps Chole in check and let’s her know to back the hell up.
What do you do if your cat always hides behind the fridge?
So what if they have had really bad fights? How do I reintroduce them ?
what if that cat at hand is a neighbors outdoor cat? will leaving my cat inside for a few days cause territorial issues? they're both males
I watched a cat video and the cat in the video did a specific meowley sound and it set my two cats off and they tried to kill each other, yowling at each other and growling. I had to separate them. I can no longer watch cat videos in my house for fear of the cats being set off.
So i have watched ur videos for a long time never commenting but i honestly am not sure what do to. I have two male cats one if 5 one is 2. The 5 yr old raised the youngest as i found him abandoned. My oldest is neutered- but my youngest cannot be due to a heart murmur (the vet has said) and my boys got along great until about a week and a half ago. 💔 i moved into an apt and they both have ample space, toys, climbing areas and seperate snuggle areas to rest in- but my oldest now hates my youngest.
Stanky, the oldest, hides all the time or stays in the bedroom. 😢 while my youngest, taco, tries to get him to play even bringing stanky toys. But stanky ain't having it. He hisses and growls at taco all the time - idk what to do. How can i make them get along again 🥹❤️
Help! My two girls used to love eachother. The 2 year old all of a sudden hates the 1 year old. Hisses & growls at her, has tried attacking her a couple of times. The 1 year old has hurt feelings, I can tell. What happened?! How do I get the 2 year old to love the 1 year old like she used to?!
My adult male cat attacked his sister due to the fact he wasn't fed at an appropriate time now my female will not stop hissing even at me her sister or her brother I have separated the brother and am working towards separating the two females from each other it is not as easy as it sounds and I cannot get one of the females out from under my couch at all without her attacking me none of this is easy I wish I would have gotten home many hours before the time I did get home cuz my male cat attacked his sister which created a war between all three of them they're all siblings and they've all grown up since birth in the same house and have never had this type of issue before I'm hoping that this can be resolved
And what to do when ALL the reintrodutions don't work? 1 year gone by without results.
My cat has been living in a stressful house for almost a year now after I moved in with my boyfriend and his 2 cats (fixed, male and female). My cat is barely 7 lbs and the sweetest little thing, skittish of strangers and garbage trucks outside. She's great with other cats once she knows they're no threat and has cohabitated lots. The problem is my boyfriends cats are straight up bullies, particularly his female. The introduction went horribly because my bf got impatient and now my cat is absolutely terrified of his female, panicking anytime she sees her. The male is better but has a weird fixation on my cat still. The two females can eat side by side but will absolutely not come close to the other on either side of a baby gate, my cat just panics and runs away. There's been many cat fights despite our best to keep them in separate rooms, and my cat has had blood drawn 3 times now. My boyfriend doesn't seem to think this is a problem, my cat always living in fear and anxiety. He says it's their wild instincts and if someone loses an eye, oh well. His female displays:
-face marking
-tail swishing
-mrowling
-no hissing or pinned ears, just head low and tail swishing
-actively looking for my cat
-watches my cat for an opening to attack for no reason (while shes grooming or sleeping)
My cat always goes into fear aggression mode: Ears pinned, low to the ground, hissing, she's even pooped herself a few times during a fight.
This has been going on for months now with no headway. My cat is not treat or toy motivated with the other cats in the room, shes always too scared and goes on the defensive. We don't know what else to do now that my cat basically has PTSD.
@wolfbane155
Hello, it's been 2 years since your comment. I am hoping the issue has been resolved but felt compelled to still reply...
You hv to be the guardian for your own cat. Before I give suggestions I've learned, is the cat aggression issue resolved?
@Tee Hi, we've since moved to a house but my cat is still skittish. We added a 4th addition and the new cat is totally unafraid of anything. She put my partners bully cat in her place simply by standing her ground and not being intimidated by her. My skittish cat has made friends with the new girl but is still very untrustworthy around the tuxedos. They can be in the same room now but always supervised. When we leave the house either my cat goes in our room or we put the bullies downstairs while we're gone. It's better than it was but not perfect
@@wolfbane155
Thank you for replying...
I am happy to hear of the improvement.
2 Suggestions:
1. Consider investing in Feliway Optum or Multi Cat diffuser(s) in areas where they hang out the most. It may help, most hv results but not all.
2. See what happens when you take a sock and rub it over the facial glands of one of the bullies, then rub it on the skittish cat. Do this a few times over one or two days.
3. Separate the skittish cat and play with her alone--it builds her confidence. Do this regularly, may be once a day.
#2 and #3 I got from Jackson Galaxy. Lmk if these work/help.
I hope you read this Cat daddy! I have two resident adult cats. A male and a female. I also have a small female yorkie. The house was harmonious. Then, My sister passed away. She had two cats. Also a male and a female. I couldn’t bare let them go to a stranger or to an animal shelter. They are all I have left of my sister. I decided to keep them. I took all steps of introducing you and my vet recommended. It took two months of separation. It didn’t work. I’m sure I must have done something wrong. My resident female cat stopped coming down off her high cat tree. She hisses, the other cats seem to be mocking her by intentionally laying near the cat tree and staring at her. I don’t want to have to get rid of my sisters cats. Help!
@Red Dawn
It has been 2 years, is your issue resolved?
I hv learned that scent swapping is highly important. Take a sock and rub the scent from the other cat's facial glands, then rub on intimidated cat. Repeat a few times over a day. Separate her from them if necessary, then try a supervised reintroduction.
I live in a small home where I have no way of separating the 2 cats, and neither likes being caged. What other options do I have? They've been at war since a vet visit and when everything seem to improve, they go downhill again. It gets to a point where one cat gets so terrified and stalked she pees and poops everywhere. Sometimes, the other one backs off after some hissing, other times that other one goes high strung and attacks.... they're fighting so bad often when I am at work and they are left alone. The one being stalked is still on medication after some dental extractions so I'm not happy that she's so stressed. Please help!
Did you resolve ? I've had a method which works
is cold meats bad for cats my father use to give my 2 cats cold meats is it bad for a cat cold meats
Once upon a time I had the good fortune to have 5 cats that got along beautifully. I was so spoiled! Presently I have a super sweet laid back 13 pound Ragdoll girl and a sassy 4.8 pound shaded silver teacup Persian. I appreciate the Ragdoll creating an environment where the Persian can be head cat and unafraid, but when the tiny Persian slaps her laid back Sister for being in her way, it is easy to be offended on behalf of the Ragdoll. Ah well.
I have a 1 year old cat since she is a kitten. I rescued a 8 year old from a kill shelter. They both are loving cats but they don’t like each other. They eat together. They can be in the same room but if they walk pass each other it’s not good. No contact fighting but they chase each other and sometimes it sounds like they are killing each other but they haven’t hurt each other. I feel horrible. I separate them at night. They take turns sleeping with me. Then one is crying at the door. I am lost. I did the introduction many times.
@LisaCrazed I recently bought a 42" Go PetClub Carrier...little pricy but works great for keeping your kitty in at night or for separation reasons. I have 2.
I can’t tell if my kittens love or hate each other. The smaller kitten lets out a blood curling yeeeeoooowwww almost every other 5 seconds when they’re sparring. The bigger kitten seems to enjoy messing with her. They appear to be mortal enemies.
Then out of the blue when they’re tired out, i see the little kitten and the bigger aggressive one napping with their belly’s facing each other to the side. It’s so confusing.
@Midnight Cat
If still an issue...
Please watch Galaxy's videos on "fighting or playing", "cat reintroductions"...videos along these lines.
i have 2 male cats (litter mates) which i had to separate for a year (october 2022 to october 2023) since one of them had gotten really sick for a long time. while on separation, each of them realize there is another cat in the house but they never see each other.
when i finally ready to reintroduced them, I've already prepared by neutering both firstly... i was hoping that the meeting process will go smooth, which wasn't the case at all... the ex-sick cat becomes very aggresive toward the healthy one. i've tried jackson's reintroducing method for a few months now but it still doesn't work. I'm totally at my wit's end now...
does anyone has a similar experience? 😭 please help, i really don't want to give up one of my cat...
Have you resolved as I have a method which worked for me ?
@@laylax3939 unfortunately no, they're still mortal enemies 😭 could you tell me your method? I'd really appreciate it
My cat is a really sweet cat around us at home. But when someone else comes into the house, she gets all defensive and hides. She sometimes bites, and even then I can't get her to calm down. How can I help my cat see that our guests aren't going to hurt her? She isn't a bad cat, and she doesn't go crazy when someone walks into the house. She just doesn't like strangers, even if she has met them before. Is that normal for a cat?
Ask your guests not to approach or try to touch her; if possible they should ignore her completely and respect her space. She may also feel more comfortable observing visitors from a perch high off the floor. You might also keep treats on hand that guests can offer her when they arrive; that way she'll associate visitors with something positive. In any case don't force the issue -- trying to persuade her to be friendly to outsiders could produce the opposite result. Good luck!
Thanks!
You're welcome! Who knows -- maybe someday she'll feel comfortable enough to approach people who come visit. Let her take the lead so she feels safe and in control. You're a good cat guardian to care so much!
You talked about doing a litterbox video when you were live on Facebook. Could you explain why our cat scrapes not in the litter once done with his business but very frantically on the floor and the plastic sides of the box? He has always done this and different litter, boxes or more frequent cleaning doesn't seem to help
Line Torntoft wants to ensure that scent and body waste is hidden to not attract predators or scare off potential prey.
The weird thing is that he doesn't cover up his business. Because then it would make a lot of sense. He just scrapes on the floor like a maniac ^^'
Have you tried different litters? I have 2 males out of 5 cats that don't cover theirs and they do the scratching outside the litter box and walls, I just go with it since it doesn't seem to bother anything
Yes, he has always done this and no matter what we do he continues. It is only a small problem when he does it at night because he sometimes is so loud with it that he wakes us up. I just got interested in why he does it since Jackson mentioned talking about litter boxes :-) there must be some logic behind it xD
I think they are just trying to remove litter that gets stuck in the paws
I find that a slight mist of airspray in the air ( the ones you use to air off a dusty computer) helps to stop them from fighting- if and when it happens. They both run in separate directions. 😊
Oh yeah, my cat *HAAATES* that hissing noise, it terrifies her! 🙀💨
James -Lololol mine run also when I pick up the can 😄
Scool
This may be different. One came to us as a stray kitten. We took it in to be an indoor/outdoor cat and it has all it's street smarts. The other is older, stronger, and challenges everything that hisses at it. I shows a few times a week and is very nice and social to people. However, my cats are very nervous around him or her. Too fluffy for us to tell. Lol. A couple days ago, it fought with our cat. Our cat has seniority and we still see the white cat as a stray. We decided it's not welcome back, and we ran it off. But it came back today with the most pitiful displays of regret as it refuse to run away and was prepared to be punished, but we can't bring ourselves to be mean to animals, so I just went back inside not refilling the food bowl to give the cat a hint. I feel I need to provide a home where my cats feel safe. But when the white cat comes, they are very timid. The white cat seems like the head honcho around these parts. Anyway, I don't see a way to to get these particular cats to become friends so easily. But this white cat has been friendly to us, sociable, etc for nearly 6 years now. It years my heart out to shoo it away. Do you think I should try another solution?
collect the money bet....
I have had no choice but to kick my cats out of the house. They fight constantly and pee everywhere to the point of causing real damage to my home.
Thank you...I always feel so awkward after something like that, then just have to wing it, it's good to know that most all of this I do, thanks again :-)
This is so helpful! My 2 cats just had a fight for the first time and we don't know what happened. 😯
After seperating them and slowly reintroducing them, everything is going good again. Yes, we do have an eye on them both, just in case. 🙂
Thank you so much for sharing your expierence and giving us tips. 😃
Did you let them just hiss at each other and such as long as they weren't fighting? I'm dealing with cat 1 hissing at cat 2 after cat 2cgot home from the vet, but no violence.
@@jasonwhite166 Yes, I let them both be cats, but with an eye in them, just in case they might fight. Since Cat 2 was at the Vet, that is the issue. Cat 1 smells different ( like a doctor/sterile/vaccinated etc. ). As soon as the smell is gone, they should be a Team again. ☺

Thank you that will help me
I'm the first to watch this and the first like 😊Love your videos thanks and thanks from my cats too ❤️🌺😻
just broke up a fight between my 5 month old kitten. and my 13 week old kitten they both are fighting for the alpha spot in this house the 13 week old kitten starts 88% of the fights from what iv seen. and right now she is in time out for the night. but they will be broke of this habit just going to take little time. and also my 13 week old kitten is getting better she is fighting off the upper respiratory infection finely. its good to see her feeling better and eating and drinking. and being playful.
i have two cats 5 y/o that always got along well until we moved to a house where others cats come around. first they started fighting the other cats, but later started fighting with each other. now i have them always in separate rooms (which is really stressful even to me) because they attack each other everytime they see, even if it is through a door. dont know what to do... :/
Hey :) just descovered these videos and I'm so excited to learn and make my cats life better :),
I have a question about how the tail can give of emotions, my cat Jax seems to only move her tail fast when she is excited and full of energy, is this normal?
Hey Love!
Got a new tat on your right upper/inner arm? 😍
This happened yesterday my small cat and my neiboors cat was fighting and also
WHAT ABOUT IF THE CAT IS HISSING OR MAKING WEIRD SOUND WHAT DOES IT MEAN???
Thankfully never had that with my tabby mafia in the past, just have one cat these days and for the first time last night heard that whole spitting and hissing 'who the heck are you! Am new and want this garden! Oh hell no dis mah patch!' Coming from my kitchen. Went to investigate and Erin's on the back windowsill, outside looking down at some intruder Cat, thankfully was able to stay calm, talk Erin (no doubt saying dis your lucky night furrball, if not for meh hooman watching! As she came in) and averted a kitteh punch up. Had to give Erin some sweeties and plenty of cuddles and she spend the next few hours following me everytime I moved, but all is good in the hood again 😊😊😊
Is there an email or something we can email you questions about cat behavior?
Good morning jackson. I'd like to pick your brain for a bit. My 2 older cats have always had a love/hate relationship but yesterday a neighbors cat was outside & scared Jasper (my younger male cat 3 years old). He started "growling and yelling" and Dax (my 1st cat 4 years old and they're both fixed)they got into a fight. She won't even give him a chance now so we had to separate them. This morning I opened the door, just a little, and she immediately started hissing & growl at him. What should I do? We didn't get much sleep last night due to Jasper kept on digging under the door.
Hey.. i just adopted a cat about 4 weeks ago... And my old cat has been aggressive to the new cat... After about 2 weeks i started to gave them food together and they look good but after finishing up they started to growling... Idk what to do noww.... Am i rushing them ?? Or should i follows the instruction??
Everything else aside, where did you get that chair? I want a chair that big soooo bad but ugh, it's so hard to find good furniture in an affordable price.
I gotta question...
What to do if your cat mysteriously left without a clue and hasn’t come back.... it’s been a week and I’am really worried, but I heard that (especially males) leave the home and explore the neighbourhood or something... looking for a mate? Idk I need help, I miss him dearly and I’am worried if he got catnapped or ran over... he usually doesn’t leave the yard! Btw I don’t see no cats on the road.
Hi. I had my rescued cat for 7 years now. 1 week ago I brought another kitten that was rescued from my work place. My cat hate him. I tried to follow steps you give, but she doesn't pay attention to toys if he is around. She keeps hissing and tries to attack him. Help me please.
I have a question Jackson!!! Male cats have been coming around the windows and somehow made them aggressive I went and got them fixed hoping the situation works... is there something I can do to make males stay away, and if I follow ur steps will they have a fight again???
Jackson Please Help! My kitten is constantly attacked and stalked by my neighbours cat. I don't know what to do. My kitten has to go outside just like the other cats do but I can't allow it cuz of the attacks. How do I stop it,he's just n kitten and their teenagers. Please???🙀
Hello,Jason;) found your awesome tv-shows and videos lately. Amazed with your knowledge and experience!!!👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Really in desperate need of help... I adopted a cat... he’s a difficult case: 5 years old, had bunch of health issues and the worst part is - he’s feral... Feral and psychologically traumatized. He’s scared from me. It’s been a month already since I have him, but no progress in our relationships))) Please help me to make his life better, help me to prove him that I’m not a danger. I wish he could know how much love he can get apart from being nicely fed;)
Jackson and UA-cam I honestly have no idea where else to go for am explanation for this. Something very odd happened just a few minutes ago. I have three cats one is a senior around 12 we assume. The other two are younger 2 - 3. Our older cat was a stray so we let him go outside at night for a while. Then we let him in. Tonight I had a bit of an issue getting him in but it was quickly resolved by a small wait. I let him in, close and lock the door then all hell breaks loose behind me. I turn around and I see one of the younger cats (Tiggs) and the older cat (Lucky) facing eachother. Lucky is doing his standard "angry airplane" growl. But Tiggs is making a sound I've never heard before. For lack of a better term he sounded like a wolf howling! This goes on for a while until they go into the dining room. And it starts up again. They have a conversation right in front of me Tiggs still occationaly making that noise and Lucky still growling. Then they calm down a bit and just sit there staring at eachother. It is worth noting these two get along very very well. They sleep together, play fight (which Lucky would never do with the other cat), and even drink and eat out of the same bowl. But NEVER have they ever done anything like this. Insight and a professional or otherwise opinion would be lovely. Because honestly I just want to know what the hell just went down in front of me.
Hi, my name is Erjon i'm from Macedonia. I have 1 male cat, 1 female and 1 male dog. They are doing well with each other not fighting but sometimes another cat comes here and want to kill my male cat. I take that cat off but in the next day he comes back. Pls tell me what to do. One day i wasnt home and he hurt my cat so bad that my cat was limping. Now my cat is growing up and being strong but still the other cat is bigger.
I have two cats and one is a bully. He waits around the corner for my other cat and attacks her! They will eat next to each other if I am feeding them wet food, but other than that, they hate each other. My cat that is getting attacked lives on the counter tops and above on cat trees. I separate them upstairs/downstairs during the day to give my one cat a break from the bully cat. They are both fixed and I have had them since they were kittens. I take time to play with each of them every single day, but I can't get them to like each other... it makes me very sad because they are both very cuddly with me, but separately..
I need help with my two cats who used to love one another. They couldn't be apart. Now, the fight all the time. What has happened?
Same I have 3 and I have to separate them because they will MURDER each other
Same 😭. This is so stressful
I know these are old comments but just in case I figured I'd add my experience so far. I've slowly started to do reintroduction using the same methods of normal introduction styles and it has been a slow race but the change is immense. My cats were fighting viciously, so I separated the more aggressive cat into a room by himself and let the other one roam. I would switch them out every other day to get them used to each others smells. I also started feeding them on opposite sides of the door and it worked so well I could open the door and they would watch each other as they ate which is a really good association to have. I would say start off slow and go into it like they never even met before. If you watch his my cat from hell videos about cat fighting it really is pretty much what I did. It's taken a little longer than I'd expect but nonetheless. My cats arent bestfriends right now but they arent trying to kill each other so I'd say some progress is better than none because they were much more miserable before, as was I. They will probably cry a lot at first but the payout is definitely worth it! I hope this finds you and your kittes well 😊 much love to my fellow kitty parents.
@@adkokay awesome advice. Thanks!
Evillegs hello how long before they stopped fighting?
It’s been 4 months since the new guy (1 years old) is in our house. I did everything you adviced Daddy Jackson. Everything! But he still bullies my girl (9 years old). Everytime he has a chance to bite her throat or frighten her (No blood!), she has an asthma attack. So I can’t set them free and find a way to communicate. I believe we’re hopeless, right? Oh how I wish you were here in Istanbul.
My cat bully’s my sister’s cat despite knowing & living with him since she was “8 weeks” old (the pet store had us come back almost a week after I met her so she’d be a legal 8 weeks, god knows how long her litter was there) but she’s never known how to cat. They rarely fight until blood is drawn (maybe 5 times in 9 years) but they yowl & tussle roughly once a fortnight, so they do try to work things out. My cat is crazy possessive of me, it’s only safe to pet SEK if she’s not around or if she turned down affection first. She’s also intensely territorial about my room & the hallway outside my room which is where they fight the most (it’s also where she “plays” ambush & swipes at people’s ankles). She’s just a very dominant cat with no idea her “play” is inappropriate because they took her from her mother far too soon. How do I help them live their best lives? I don’t need them to love each other but I don’t want them to hate each other either. Poor SEK is getting picked on constantly & I don’t blame him for turning & “attacking her” sometimes (more like telling her off).
I have a question a little bit off topic here, but I was thinking maybe I could find some help. So I just move in a new apartment cause I broke up with my ex bf who was terrorizing one of my cats (I have 2 cats, Vivi and Moustif and he have one cat, Calou, he was terrorizing Vivi, the only female). She always found refuge close to my desk in a piece of furniture. Her only "safe zone" was about 1m² around my desk when I was present. So I ditch the guy and move. But now she still won't go to the windows and stay around my desk all day long. What can I do to help her regain confidence and feel safe in all the apartment ?
PS : My ex bf was thinking that 3 cats in 50m² are too much so he want me to get rid of her, that's why he was acting like that.
Is raw chicken meat is equivalent to dry Chicken flavored cat food??? My kittens are 3 months old and i feed then dry food. Plz answer
Bella Not all cat food is of the same quality. Try and choose one that is high in protein and low in carbs/grains/cereals ... which are used to bulk the food out. If you want to feed your kittens raw meat you need to start from an early age once they are eating solid food. My cats won't eat raw meat at all but love steamed chicken breast. Discover what they like.
The dynamics of our household changes a lot.. ((story short of ten years:
Had two cats, the older was the boss over the kitten, they were fine a bit fighting. Then we added a dog, cats ruled still. Then we also got another cat, she was alright.
Then the older cat passed away.. Dog took over and ruled them.
Then we had another cat a year ago, this time a male. Dog passed away, the male cat/ third cat took the crown.
I'm really confused honestly, it changes a lot.
All three cats now fight a bit around but nothing too serious, I'm just worried it will since my second cat is already, ten years old? And the male cat is much younger and twice her size.
Altho I'm sure things will continue to be fine.
They all mostly live in the garden we have, so they have a large area and stuff to do, a few roofs around too that they jump on.
I just let them be, or sometimes call out their names, they usually stop and bring their tail back up and go to me or run off haha
Do you have any advice for moving cats to a new house? They've lived their whole lives in the old house so I wanted the transition to be smooth as possible
Kaitlin Greathouse make sure not to replace or wash their litter box. Don't wash their scent soakers like blankets and other things. Most likely your cat will be confused and find a hiding place, so place the litter box close to that proximity. I made the mistake of completely replacing my cats litter box and when he finally came out from hiding he went potty in the corner out of confusion.
My cats JUST exploded.
We have 3. Originally it was 4. I had two and my husband had two when we started dating. One of mine has passed away since and we moved but could only keep 2 cats so my mom kept my cat and we kept his two.
We have moved again and took my kitty back and since reintroducing them together things have only gotten worse. They never got along well before hand. But we also never had to deal with major injuries. 8 stiches 4 on either side of the tail on my cat. BooBoo.
She's not an innocent party in the fighting. Nugget and her are equally to blame for all the fighting and our 3rd cat only gets involved if one of the other two attacks her.
All 3 are females, all 3 are fixed. And they are all around 5-7 years old so we have a number of years to go with them. And we don't plan on ever splitting them up again as living at my mom's was really stressful for Booboo as she has 3 cats of her own.
While BooBoos stiches were healing she was down in the basement with the door shut. My brother his gf and their baby live down there so she had plenty of attention which she really craves. She loves to cuddle. Before the whole incident none of the cats were "allowed" down stairs because our cats will pee on the floor in inactive areas of the house and since only 1/3rd of the basement is occupied by humans we thought it best to keep them out. They still had a litter box and food and water incase they got stuck down there on accident but the door was closed 90% of the time.
BooBoos stiches are off but we keep the basement door open now for her and the other cats but she's pretty much claimed the basement as hers and the other cats don't bug her down there as much.
I worry tho. Because my brother is moving out soon into his own place with his gf and their baby. And my husband and I Don't go downstairs alot. I worry BooBoo will get lonely even tho we don't shut her down there, because she never comes up. She's scared of Nugget and will not come up stairs for longer than 30 mins at a time. I'm sure she will once my brothers not down there anymore but im.worried the fighting will come back. We've had one week since the stiches came out and the door was opened so the cats can mingle and it's been peaceful. But I really Don't know what to do if it goes back to the way it was.
Please help me my cats fighting oll the time blood every wear my name is shimo l am from Iraq like have 5 cats what can I do

Any advice for new cat next door that is daily attacking my cat in her own garden? (Both neutered/spayed) 😿
You may want to add something around the top of your backyard fencing to keep your cat in and the other cats out. Something that cannot be easily climbed by either kitty. That way, neighbor cat won't be able to bother yours anymore.
Spray him with water bottle
