Yep, there's definitely mayhem in my apartment, literally.

Mayhem is picking fights with Imp and Mischief.  The other day,
Mischief was just sitting on the window looking out.  Mayhem jumped up
on the bed unseen and slowly crept up behind Mischief.  I saw it coming
and told her not to do it.

But she quickly dashed forward slapped Mischief on the rear, let out a
loud hiss and dashed off the bed.  *sigh*

And just now, Imp was eating his breakfast and taking a long drink.
Mayhem was poised just around the corner, watching his every move.  Imp
finished and started to walk back to the living room.  Meanwhile
Mischief was watching the entire thing from her tower.

Mayhem dashed forward and hissed at Imp, who immmediately went on the
defensive and hissed back.  Mayhem hissed again and then took off
running.  Mischief started to get down from her tower in case she
needed to step in.

Sheesh!  And yesterday I managed to break up a possible fight went
Mayhem got Mischief trapped in a corner.

And for some reason, the step stool in the kitchen was lying on its
side this morning and a bunch of upended cereal boxes were nearby.  No
one's talking.....

Is she just trying to pick a fight?  or is she trying to assume
dominance as alpha cat?  I'm not sure which, but when all three cats
are in the same room it's a tense moment to see who will make the first
move.
