My cats fought, now one hisses. How can I get them to get along?

Great question! I can give you a method to help them get along. I would separate the cats, and slowly reintroduce them to each other. Take the cat who is aggressive (Sami), and put her in her own room with her own food, water, and litter box. Keep the door closed, and for a few days, feed them both treats on other side of door so they associate each other's smell with a good experience. Then let Beau in the aggressive cat's room while Sami is in a cat carrier. They can smell each other, but not be in contact. If either becomes upset or show signs of aggression, remove Beau from the room, and try again later. Praise them when they interact appropriately. When they are interacting well with each other through the carrier, you can let Sami out of her room, and see how she interacts with Beau. Praise them when they interact appropriately, and separate them with any sign of aggression or upset. I would get a cat tree with lots of shelves to give the cats vertical space to get away from each other. I would keep Sami in her room when you go out until they are comfortable with each other. I hope this helps!

Oh no, that's not good! I would separate the cats, and slowly reintroduce them to each other. Take the cat who is aggressive, and put her in her own room with her own food, water, and litter box.

Then let the other cat in the aggressive cat's room while the aggressive cat is in a cat carrier. They can smell each other, but not be in contact. If either becomes upset or show signs of aggression, remove the second cat from the room, and try again later. Praise them when they interact appropriately. When they are interacting well with each other through the carrier, you can let the aggressive cat out of her room, and see how she interacts with the other cat.

If Gizzy is going out into the garden, then she could come back in smelling differently and that's causing Fergie to be upset. I can give you a method to help them get along again.

Great question! Washing Rikku and Lucy will have changed their smell, and they now see each other as strangers. I would separate the cats, and slowly reintroduce them to each other. Take Lucy, and put her in her own room with her own food, water, and litter box. Keep the door closed, and for a few days, feed them both treats on other side of door so they associate each other's smell with a good experience. Then let Rikku into Lucy's room while she is in a cat carrier. They can smell each other, but not be in contact. If either becomes upset or show signs of aggression, remove him from the room, and try again later. Praise them when they interact appropriately. When they are interacting well with each other through the carrier, you can let her out of her room, and see how she interacts with him.

I would separate them, and slowly reintroduce them to each other. Take the cat who is aggressive, and put him in his own room with his own food, water, and litter box. For a few days, feed them both treats under the door so they associate each other with a good thing. Then let your female into the room while your male is in a carrier. Praise them when they interact without aggression, and take the female out of the male acts aggressive. Once they get along that way, you can let the make out of his room to see how things go. I hope this helps!

It does sound like cat nosies set them off with each other! I would separate them for tonight if they are hissing like crazy, and see how they are in the morning. Let them sniff each other and if there is no aggression, then they can be left together. Should they still be grumpy with each other, I will give you a method for slowing introducing them to each other slowly. Method for reintroducing them: I would separate the cats, and slowly reintroduce them to each other. Take Jass, and put him in his own room with his own food, water, and litter box. Keep the door closed, and for a few days, feed them both treats on other side of door so they associate each other's smell with a good experience. Then let Malachi in the Jazz's room while Jazz is in a cat carrier. They can smell each other, but not be in contact. If either becomes upset or show signs of aggression, remove Malachi from the room, and try again later. Praise them when they interact appropriately. When they are interacting well with each other through the carrier, you can let Jazz out of his room, and see how he interacts with Malachi. Praise them when they interact appropriately, and separate them with any sign of aggression or upset. I would get a cat tree with lots of shelves to give the cats vertical space to get away from each other. I would keep Jazz in his room when you go out until they are comfortable with each other.
