The two cats I have recently started fighting often, which made me, the owner who doesn’t understand cat language, very distressed. Two cats fighting between male and female is a common phenomenon of raising cats. Today I will share with you how I deal with this issue.
First, it is necessary to clarify why the two cats are fighting.
Cats are territorially conscious animals, which means they fight for their territory. In addition, cats are also an independent animal that likes to fight for resources (such as food, water, owner's attention, etc.). Therefore, in order for two cats to live in peace, we need to provide a sufficient territory and sufficient resources.
A room with too small space will make the two cats feel uneasy, which can easily lead to a fight. At the same time, provide each cat with enough food and water to avoid fighting for the sake of scrambling.
If the two cats have started fighting, we must take the following measures:
1. Separate the two cats.
Even if they are just a slight quarrel, separate them and prevent the situation from getting worse.
2. Let the two cats adapt slowly.
When separated, let them smell each other's door cracks every day and gradually reduce their communication time. This process requires patience, as each cat has different adaptation time.
3. Observe the body language of the two cats.
Body language should be an important guide when we are trapped in conflicts and quarrels. People in cats often get furs in front of their handstands, ears tilted back, tail erected behind their tails, etc. If there is no threat between cats, we can gradually try to make them live together again.
4. Treat every cat with kindness.
The warmth and care that cats feel can also affect their relationship. Feel and love each cat to ensure they feel safe with their surroundings. After taking these measures, I believe you will find that the two cats will gradually accept each other and live in peace. Of course, if the conflict between the two cats is relatively large, we should also seek help from professional pet doctors in time to ensure that they get the right solution.
In short, in the process of raising cats, we must always pay attention to the emotions and behaviors of cats, try our best to protect their safety and happiness, so that they can become an indispensable part of our family.
