ok.. so i got 2 cats Tom and Jerry. they were both stray cats and i got them at different times. Tom is the gentle cat who was loving now is so nervous around everybody. shes got really skinny as well as shes barely home and if she is shes hiding from jerry. (should be the other way around)

is there any way i can make them get along, ive tried pretty much everything. at least is there any way where i can stop tom being so nervous :(

hey i don't really know how to get them along, i mean i am not sure but you try taking them for a walk with you or play with them.
If they start getting after each others life then you can try putting water on them, you see that they will just shut their mouth and soon will be sitting in a corner peacefully.

sometimes the cat loves me... but if there is anybody else around she runs from me:(

I think every time you find them fighting you should come in the middle to give a small slap to the naughty one, this is what I used to do to my five cats when they were fighting , my mother even kept a small ruler for them and with time they know very well that we do not like fighting in the house.

haha ya ive tried that... soon as they see each other they both go into hunting mode, jerry knows its wrong cause she runs from us when we go to get her LOL i dont think they will ever get along?

why don't you change their names, maybe they fight because of their name....rasp Just kidding!
why don't you put them together while they are asleep. when they wake up they will be surprised to see they are embracing each other.


kahmed09 (71)   ranked 4,206 out of 5,817 in cats  2 years ago

hmmm they sometimes sleep near each other.. so long as one of them doesnt start moving, then a fight breaks out LOL

i just want them to get along :(

really? how old are they? it's more difficult to make them become closer to each other if they are a bit old.


kahmed09 (71)   ranked 4,206 out of 5,817 in cats  2 years ago

ya.. well ones like a year old the others like 3-4 not really sure was a neighbours cat but she pasted away and it was just living in the area then came to live with us.

Its natural for cats to fight. Its part of their nature. The trick is idenitifying what is and isn't harmful to the animals. Without knowing how long you've had them, and what goes on in more detail I can't help you all that much.

I can tell you this, cats generally will work out their differances on their own. If they are indoor/outdoor animals this process can take a little longer. Just give it time. Observe them and as long as they aren't hurting each other I wouldn't worry about it too much.

However, don't bring in any more animals, and if you do introduce them slowly by isolating the new animal first and gradually introducing and intergrating them with the other animals in the house.


kahmed09 (71)   ranked 4,206 out of 5,817 in cats  2 years ago

yeah that makes sense. they dont really hurt each other. ive never seen them with scratches or anything which is good.
i wont be bringing any more animals in :)
i cant resist when i see a stray though and its all hungry :( thanks for your input

we used to have three cats, a brother and sister and our rescue cat who came along much later. The two boys used to play fight all the time but they were enjoying it and never hurt each other, whereas our female cat gets quite angry and will use her claws so they both learned to stay away from her if they felt playful. Her brother would risk it and pounce on her at least once a day though she would claw at him but our rescue cat has never risked it :)

They will sleep together and sniff around each other but they don't play fight like the two boys used to. So I would agree with the previous poster who said that cats will generally sort themselves out and it shouldn't be a problem if they aren't hurting each other, it sounds more like your cats are like our two boys used to be - they didn't used to make any noise when they play fighting although they had all the poses - no hissing or yowling / growling. Do yours make any noise when they fight?

they will not get along because it's in their nature, what I do is throw slipper at them so they split and each other not to fight. This is only my way, and for other way is I watered them with washing water. Or beat them with a broom in the backyard.
