We have two cats that will fight, if left unattended. So, at night, one cat stays in our bedroom, and the other cat is able to roam the house. That way, we all get a good nights sleep. During the day, I rotate cats, one in, and the other is outside. If your cats don't go out, then rotate them in different rooms. The vet said that you can't make them get along, so just work with them.

I also have two cats that don't always get along. One is a male and one is a female. Lions are the only cats that live in a group, or pride. Your one female that is dominate is the alpha female, and she does not want to share. I don't really think that there is anything that can be done about the squabbling. I asked my vet about this, and he said that it was unliklely that the alpha cat would hurt the other. Its not fun watching one get chased, etc. but there really isn't anything that can be done about it. Just enjoy them both and continue to treat them equal.

Now when you see two cats fighting, one thing you might do is to pour some cold water over them . A good soaking will usually break up thefight.If you have a cat fight on your hands and don't have any water available, make a loud noise such as clapping, banging a pan, etc. Cats hate loud sudden noises and it often will end the confrontation
Never reach into a cat fight. Both of them may turn on you. Whatever you do, don't hit them with brooms,newspapers or any other solid object. Most of the time that only makes both animals more aggressive and once again one or both may turn on you if they identify the fact that you are the one holding the broom.
One of your cats may smell funny to the other. Sometimes it may take three or four months to get one cat to accept the scent of another as 'normal,' and will continue to fight till that situation is cleared up. However, there is a way to clear that up a little faster. First,rub a towel over one of the cats. Then rub the same towel over the other cat. Now the cats will smell (kinda, sorta) the same and peace can be restored. That is the reason kitty never attacks the cat in the mirror after having seen a reflection once and checking it out. The cat in the mirror has no scent.
Some people with more than one cat never have a problem with fights,but others find that their cats are always getting it on in some arena or other. One reason cats in the same house fight is that there isn't enough "territory" for each. It's not a question of square feet. Each cat has his own internal sense of space. In order to satisfy each animal's need for a separate territory, try repositioning a large piece of furniture. In other words, rearrange the furniture so that it breaks up a large space, creating two or three smaller areas. If each cat has a space of his own, it may put an end to the fighting.
You can create more separate cat spaces in your home by setting up decorative paneled screens which are available at most furniture stores. Set one up in a corner to create space front and back.
You can buy a "cat tree" which will perform a similar function. Cat trees are tall towers with several carpeted shelves. When you bring one of these trees home, each cat will usually adopt a shelf as its own. Since the cat then has "its own" space, they are less likely to fight over territory.
Now if you have tried all of the above and nothing works, you may find out that by constantly breaking up their fights, you are merely
prolonging the situation. That's because what they are fighting over has never been settled. It may (and usually is) fighting over who is to be top cat. And cats don't have any sexist chauvenism. The "Topcat. And cats don't have any sexist chauvenism. The "Top Cat" can be either male or female. In that case, settle your nerves,and let'em duke it out as long as they aren't getting torn to pieces. A few nose scratches are minor. As for losing an eye, cats have been fighting for a few million years and one eyed cats are still rather uncommon. The adds are strongly in your favor that one or the other will cry uncle and submit before either one gets seriously hurt.
After they have established their boundries (on their own), the
fighting usually ends completely.

f they are both females they may fight ever we have 2 female cats for 6yrs and they still spat with each other...what helped in the beginning was to pet one cat ( to get her scent) and then pet the other so both would smell each other and adjust..that helped a little also their feeding dishes to allow space there

they are both female. they are probably jealous of each other. try to work with them together during the day, and when they realize you care about both of them equally maybe they will stop.

keep them separated could be jealousy because one sleeps with you and won't let the other come near the bed when she does the other one runs her off and than they start fighting
