I adopted 2 cats (who are brothers) from the Humane Society about 2 years ago, who are now about 3 1/2 years old. They've always had play fights (chasing each other around the house, wrestling, etc.), but they were always very loving and caring towards each other as well. About 2 months ago, they got into a pretty bad fight and one bit the other's paw, drawing blood, and resulting in a severe abscess that required IV antibiotics. Since then, I've been keeping them separated completely - they can't even be near each other without fighting, and it's been 2 months!! I have a spray bottle that I use on them whenever they go after each other, and that deters them somewhat, but it doesn't prevent them from trying to fight.
Does anyone have any suggestions? How long will this go on? Do I have to keep them separated forever???
