Hi all,

I've brought my female sister cats with 2 weeks old and they are
now almost a year and a half. Initially they always slept
together and were very friendly to each other. Lately they don't
sleep together and they are always attacking each other. I
usually just get mad when they do that and scream, they stop but
afterwards they just do that again. What should I do? Should I
stop them or should I let them hit each other?

Cheers,

Signature

You got kittens 2 weeks old? Are you out of your mind?

Our two sisters went through the same phase. Now they tolerate each
other most of the time.

You should always let cats figure out their pecking order. Intervene
only if it gets out of hand.

Yikes... 2 weeks old...sure this can't be.. I don't think their eyes would
be open by then...do you mean 2 months...

Either way, like I said in my other reply, I have sisters.. but not litter
mates.. i.e. from seperate consecutive ltters.. they play fight and they
usually sort themselves out.. but you are the boss cat (you should be) and
they should accept that you can step in and sort them both out.. not with
force and cruelty.. usually a gruff voice should suffice.

When my girls get too rough I just grumble at them ... they learn.

Good luck

Steve
