What is the behavior of a big cat accepting a small cat?

Big cats usually have a strong sense of territory. When a new small cat appears in the household, the big cat may exhibit behaviors such as growling, screaming, or even aggressive actions towards the new arrival. If the big cat does not show these symptoms and can eat and drink together with the small cat, sharing the living environment, it can be considered that the two cats have accepted each other.

**Why do big cats behave aggressively towards small cats?

A big cat will become tense and alert when it smells a foreign scent on the small cat, which is why it behaves aggressively and refuses to let the small cat approach. Cats have a strong sense of territory, and when a small cat intrudes on their territory, the big cat will act aggressively towards it. Cats are also very jealous and do not want to share their owners with other cats of the same species. Therefore, when the owner shows favor to the small cat, the big cat will act aggressively.

**How do two cats coexist peacefully?

Make sure each toy has two versions to avoid conflicts over playthings. It is best to separate the drinking containers and eating bowls of the cats, being fair and letting them recognize their own bowls to avoid conflicts. Spend more time playing with your cats to build friendship between them.

**What to note when owning two cats?

Firstly, if one is male and the other is female, the owner should separate them during their mating season (especially if the owner does not want them to breed) and it is recommended to have them spayed or neutered. Secondly, if two male cats are being raised, the owner must be vigilant as they can easily get into fights. The owner should always pay attention to the cats' behavior and mood changes, and break up fights if they occur. Lastly, cats require more food and daily necessities, so the owner should be well-prepared.
