When cats start fighting, it can be hard to know what to do or where to start. Before jumping straight to stopping the fights, it’s important to understand what’s causing the tension in the first place. From ruling out medical concerns to identifying patterns, triggers, and unmet needs, these steps can help you start making sense of the conflict and figure out what to do next.
Cats are often seen as boundary-setting animals who will walk away when they’ve had enough. But behaviour isn’t always that straightforward. Fear responses aren’t always loud or obvious, and too often they’re mistaken for tolerance. When we rely on that assumption, we miss what our cats are really telling us.
Just because cats do sleep all day doesn’t mean they should. While it’s easy to write off a "lazy" cat as "normal", a lack of activity is often due to a lack of opportunity. From puzzle toys to clicker training, it’s time to stop treating cats like furniture and start feeding their instincts.
Is two really better than one when it comes to cats? It’s not a one-size-fits-all rule. Before bringing home cat number two or adopting a pair, it’s important to consider each cats' personalities, your lifestyle, and what peaceful coexistence requires. Sometimes the happiest home has two cats… and sometimes it has one very content singleton.
