I have a cat tree next to my bed with three levels, and my two sometimes fight to see who can be "Top Cat" - especially when it's bedtime. But it's not a big deal. One of them usually backs down before I can say something to them. -- |

What is the best way to break up cat fights i have to seperat them and yell at them to stop growling It ain't easy. But you should clip the aggressor's claws. Cats depend on their claws, it's their livelihood, it's their life. That's why so many expressions associate claws with cats. Clipping the aggressor's claws is a great way to help minimize any damage. It might not stop the trauma, but it will stop the injury. It might even eventually be understood that the aggressor has dull claws (I doubt it but it's possible). |

Break up cat fights
Of course the other reply was a mistake.
I have a new stray, a large female that treats the other cats as toys. Using a tale extender is another method for coping with a bully. Instead of putting a bell on their collar, you can put it on their tail where it's more effective. The newcomer thinks everything that moves is a toy, it is twice the size of my calico, and it is causing the calico noticeable anxiety. It is unrelenting. The first round of using a tale extender went reasonably well. The newcomer is a great cat, but it must be shepherded to take into account the fact that the calico cannot run away. Also useful is to make sure they are separated when your way. Since I've noticed the anxiety, I have become more assertive in stepping in to stop the newcomer when the calico has obviously been pushed to its limit.

"Also useful is to make sure they are separated when your way."
Should be... "Also useful is to make sure they are separated when you're away." |
