How to solve fights between male cats

Owner's safety first: Ensure that you protect yourself while separating the two male cats from each other. They should not have any contact, and each cat should be in a completely independent space. Be cautious when the fight is very intense; do not intervene until the cats have calmed down, and then separate them carefully while conducting a physical examination.

The main reason for fights between male cats is territoriality. Cats have a strong sense of territory and are not good at socializing. Most fights are related to this, and the male hormones secreted by male cats make it more likely for cats with average relationships to have conflicts.

Dealing with fights: When male cats fight, the owner's handling method suggests the following: If there is already an adult male cat at home, bring back the other adult male cat. The second adult male cat must be isolated in a place where the first adult male cat cannot see it for territorial adaptation. After the cat has adapted to the environment, exchange smells under the condition that they cannot see each other. For example, exchange the blankets they use separately, and reciprocally adapt to each other's smells. Then, isolate them in a place where they can see each other but not touch, giving them a buffer time to adapt. Afterward, let them interact daily under the owner's help, with each contact lasting not too long. Separate them manually when they show fixed behavior to prevent conflicts from intensifying. This process continues until the two male cats can coexist peacefully. The longer the grinding process, the less likely the fights between the two male cats will be.

After the cats can coexist peacefully: Place their litter box and bowls in their respective territories, not together, to prevent bullying. In addition, after reaching full development, take the cats to the pet hospital for sterilization surgery to minimize fights caused by hormonal reasons.
