They are litter mates and they are both getting "fixed". We live in a somewhat large, two bedroom apartment. I'm worried that as they get older they'll try to mark their "territory" and fight all the time.

I have two male cats and I had them fixed at 6mths and they are doing fine....they have not sprayed anything....they are brothers and have a special bond....they fight sometimes but they always work it out......sometimes I catch them giving each other a bath..It is so cute! As far as having two male cats you should be fine....you will get so much enjoyment out of them...

it's very possible - 2 male cats want to be the king of the household and since they are from the same litter, they most likily will fight to be on top. If there was already another cat around - an older male cat - then no, they wouldn't fight. They'd understand that the big cat is king and not to mess with him.
If they're the only boys in the house, be sure you have cleaners around.
If they're fixed, spraying is less likily but you never know.
I few years back, my male cat Tigger sprayed my back just because I was playing with his sister's newborn kitten. So be careful, if you have anymore kittens, the older male cats may try and hurt them or spray you out of spite.

As long as you got them as kittens, they'll be fine. If you get them fixed before they are a cat, they won't mark they're territory. You may be surprised at this, but a female cat marks it's territory much more than a male.
Still got questions? E-mail or IM me.
Thanks!

I promise they will not fight over territory if you get them both fixed before they are 6 months old or around that age. They will forever act like kittens and play-fight though!

As long as they are fixed they will not try to mark their territory, in fact neutered male cats tend to get along better then female cats.
It should work out great.
Good luck to you and your kittens

I had the same problem as you do. But if your cats are "fixed" then you should not worry about it. Sometimes, they will mark the territory, but it if going to be only sometimes. Don't worry about it.

I have a set of brothers, they totally love each other, only fight when catnip is involved! I have found that if you keep two from a litter, they adjust easier, and share a strong bond. I have three sets of litter mates, and they are very close to their siblings, grooming each other, sleeping, and playing together, really cool, actually!

If you fix them soon enough, there shouldn't be a problem. I also have a pair of cats- littermates- and one is a male. And he has yet to start marking territory.

if you get them fixed you shouldn't have any problems at all. un-neutered males mark their territories. and being fixed usually helps their disposioion

I had two cats that were exactly like this, even though I had them fixed one always picked on the other until I had to find a better home for one. Sorry, not the answer you were hoping for!
