    I have 3 cats, one female and 2 males. One of the males used to be a stray but he’s settled in quite well. The other male is young, 9 months old.

    The two males are fighting like crazy. Is there anything I can do to get them to become friends?

    Hello Inna, welcome to the forum!

    Perhaps you can share if they’re a particular breed ? Sometimes this can have a influence on behavior.

    Hi Inna I had that problem before and what really worked for me was giving the cats one food bowl each. I noticed they were fighting much more when around the food. So I put a second bowl about 3-4 feet away and that solved it!

    But it might depend on the breed, as Nate says.

    What I’ve observed is that males are territorial. They tend to be more of this behaviour when there’s a female, and especially if it’s mating season. It’s their nature. Is the female’s hormones up?


    In gardening, there’s always something you can’t control.  This makes the experience so humbling. 🙂
