Cats fighting

What should you do if cats fight frequently? There are no longer a few families raising two or more cats at the same time. The advantage of this is that it reduces the loneliness of the cats, even if the owner does not often At home, the cat will feel much better, after all, there are still playmates. But the most worrying thing is that two cats are likely to fight over trivial matters, and fighting will inevitably lead to injuries, so we need to know how to make them live in peace.

If two cats always fight, it is not correct to think about how to raise them separately. What we need to do is how to make the two cats have a good impression of each other and become friends with each other.

1. Let the cat have a desire for food first, so it cannot be left to eat at will. It must be timed (a fixed period is not a fixed time), and the total amount of food should be reduced by at least 20-30%. In this way Can make it have a higher desire for food. The remaining 20-30% is made up by giving snacks.

Second, let the two cats avoid meeting each other first. You need to set a range of activities at home. There must be a fence between the two cats to prevent them from interacting, fighting, etc. You must set and adjust it according to your home environment.

3. The method of feeding each meal is to allow the two cats to see each other, but not far enough to cause a fight. Put the food of the two cats here and put down the food at the same time. , and put away the food and bowl at the same time, so that the cats can see each other and smell each other's presence while eating. Doing this slowly will allow the cats to associate each other with food.

4. Gradually shorten the feeding distance between the two cats. Don’t move too far each time. Five centimeters is enough. Each time you move, you need to feed at that location for several days until you confirm it. When the two cats are eating without any stress, you can close the distance by another five centimeters.

5. If the cat is reluctant to eat after moving, or appears restless, agitated, gasping, growling, or even attacking, it means that you have acted too hastily. Please go back to the previous time and it was fine. Start training again.

6. Keep the distance short until the two cats can almost touch each other and eat their own food with peace of mind.

In the process of doing this, when you are alone with one of the cats, learn to ignore the existence of the cat. Only when the two cats meet, you will treat the two cats better. Pay more attention to them. So, prepare treats for both cats and sprinkle their favorite treats on both sides whenever the two cats get close to each other on the fence. This will make the cat want to see the other party, because when the other party does not exist, you do not interact with it and there are no snacks, but when the other party appears, it will get your attention and can eat well. Eat snacks.

The next step is observation. When you observe that the interaction between the two cats has stabilized, you can open the fence and let the two cats come into contact. It should be noted that at this time you still have to maintainMaintain the previous practice and do not pay any special attention to or feed any one of the cats individually. Only when two cats appear together at the same time will they pay attention to them and feed them.

If they show aggressive behavior, stop feeding them and only feed them when they are getting along with each other in a friendly manner. In this way, in the long run, they will gradually become familiar with and accept each other, and the number of fights will also be obvious. be improved, or completely eliminated.
