on 7/20/2008 I have a large number of indoor cats. First get the cats spayed or neutered. This will lessen the number of fights.But will not stop all fighting. Many of my cats are litter mates. There will always be a alpha male or female. I have found that simply placing the aggressor in a small room, a half bath works well and close the door. Leave the cat in there for at least a half hour. The cat may meow or scratch at the door. The other cats tend to sit outside the closed door. But do this quickly. A cats attention span is very short. After several trips to the "jail". The bully will learn what happens if he or she is the bully.

on 2/28/2006 Cat fights are most often started because of territory. I had two brothers that would fight constantly until one moved to the back of the house.
It's been my experience that a shout, followed by a charging motion, works well. But, a water gun is more fun.

on 11/22/2005 Put a magazine or a newspaper between the two cats to block their vision of each other. This works where the cats are in a frozen position, but not yet making contact. It allows the frightened one to run away (if it can) and you can pick up the dominant one if it is tame. Without blocking the sight of the other cat, picking up or even touching the aggressive cat can make the attack start. Usually the frightened cat is cornered and can't get away, so your only option may be to move the aggressor after blocking it's view. This has always worked for me.

on 11/22/2005 If two cats are fighting, get your dog into the fight. The dog will scare the cats off, or the cats will think the dog is going to take sides. Cats are afraid of dogs (most of the time) so the cats will get afraid and stop fighting. If all else fails, throw something (not heavy that will hurt the cats) that will startle them from there fighting.

on 11/22/2005 If there are other cats in your neighborhood, give your cat a thorough inspection every couple days. My cat had a deep scratch that I didn't notice for days, until it was badly infected. I didn't even realize there had been a fight!
