I have 2 cats.
one 3 year old male and
one 2 year old female.
they seem like best friends, they play, eat put of the same bowl at the same time, sleep together.
but every sunday i have to put them each in a crate, because we have to show our house.
and as soon as i put the one cat in with the other, they act like they'vr never seen eachother before and they begin to bite eachother, hiss and fight.
i don't get it.
why are they fine until they have to go in a big crate together?

The territory has shrunk and changed. So they must establish who is top dog "whoops" cat I mean.

They probably feel to cramped together.
How big is the cage? Probably about 3x2? Not big enough.
If you have no other way, try putting a towel down the middle and the cats on either side.
You don't want to leave them in there fighting for very long they can really hurt each other

They probably just feel cramped. It's like when two people get locked in an elevator or a closet or something. They start to fight because they are scared.

Maybe they're arguing over whose in charge? Sounds like a petty hissy fit to me.

try putting them in separate crates. It could be they just
don't like to be in confined space and to have another
cat added to that confined space makes them crazy.

They are in a small confined container, they need that territorial space.
