Cat Forum / General Topics / June 2005Cat fights
I have two cats - a one year old male Siamese (Manzie) and a two year old female DSH (Coco). Manzie isn't neutered (yet) and Coco is fixed. I've had them both since they were kittens. They are both 100% indoor cats. They had been getting along fine up until the past couple of months. Now they have raging cat fights at least a couple of times a day (mostly at night). Manzie appears to be the instigator. He is an extremely affectionate, people-oriented cat, so my husband thinks he's jealous. I don't know what to do. One of them is going to get seriously hurt one of these days. Will things get better once I get him fixed? They are able to eat together and take naps near each other; they just have these bizarre fighting episodes. What should I do? Help!!

In my case though the 'fights' are not serious, the male is simply sexually harassing the female who of course is not interested. Are you sure your cats are actually fighting? If there is no blood, that's not a real fight. I beg to differ when you say there is no actual cat fight without blood. I've had plenty of cats that fought without drawing blood. Screaming, yowling, and rolling around on the floor until they are separated is a cat fight to me, with or without blood. > > I have two cats - a one year old male Siamese (Manzie) and a two year old > > female DSH (Coco).

"until they are separated" ? you often stick your body parts into a blender ? 3 rules vis-a-vis fighting: a) no fighting when I'm just about to fall asleep b) no fighting at the end of a TV program I've been watching for the last couple hours c) no fighting when at least one cat is in my lap. pat >>>I have two cats - a one year old male Siamese (Manzie) and a two year > [quoted text clipped - 41 lines] >>Are you sure your cats are actually fighting?

Fights determine who is top cat, and if you separate them, they'll fight again until the issue they have is settled. Also, dont top post! >> I beg to differ when you say there is no actual cat fight without blood. >> I've had plenty of cats that fought without drawing blood.

Because......oh never mind - if you really wanna know, this has been discussed seemingly endlessly on various newsgroups, if not all newsgroups. Just don't top-post. If you wanna know why, use Google to read old discussions of the issue. > So many idiots cannot figure out how to snip? That's true, but a different problem. I disagree. As I wrote here a few weeks ago I have an aggressive cat that beats up the other cat. The other cat tries to stay away from the aggressor but the aggressor stalks him and beats him up every time he gets the chance. Happened again this morning. I have to keep them separated or the other cat will be severely injured. > > I beg to differ when you say there is no actual cat fight without blood. > > I've had plenty of cats that fought without drawing blood.

Get your male fixed and worry about it if the fights continue after that. If you intend to keep the cat, and do not intend to breed it, why wait? He might smell a female in heat in the neighborhood, bolt with love on his mind, and get killed by a car or something. :I have two cats - a one year old male Siamese (Manzie) and a two year old : female DSH (Coco).

Will : things get better once I get him fixed? I should think so - why have you not done it yet, it's due around 6 mths old.
