Cat Playing or Fighting
With multi, cats can play rough. Outdoor cats that stay outside
or can go outside will also play rough with other cats. Biting
your ankles or arms can be play for your cat. Cats that have
extra energy to play and have difficulty finding ways to release
their energy can be a very playful cat.
What is the difference in playing and fighting with the cats?
Cats that are not familiar with each other can be fighting and
not playing. Dominant of one cat to another, screaming, hissing
continuously during what looks like the playing are signs of
fighting. In addition, if a cat gets hurt, this is a signs cats
are not playing. This is a sign of your cats are really
fighting. This is important to learn and get additional
information about especially if your cat is an outdoors cat and
encounters another cat. You will be able to tell if fighting or
playing is going on. Leaving your cat outside and not know the
playing for fighting can have effects on your cat's behaviors
and stability for going outside again.
Distraction is the best way to separate fighting cats. With any
type of interfering can cause pain to both you and the cats.
Make a loud noise, firm voice, cats do not like loud noises this
is a good way. Have spray bottles handy to use. Cats do not like
to be sprayed with water and this will stop them. Once they have
stop immediately separate the cats with close doors so they are
not able to see each other. This aggression will need to be
dealt with carefully. Allowing cats to continue to fight will
end up with a cat being hurt and with fighting; this could cause
diseases in the cats. This will become expensive with having to
take the cat to the veterinarian for medication and some time
stays at the vets for care and treatment.
Cat play is a natural for a cat and you should not interfere
with the playing. Exposing other actives for the cats can help
with the playing, when the playing seem to get to intense. Have
plenty of toys for the cats to play with, their own scratch
post, or their own area to play in.
With multi cats in a home, you will want to create an
environment for each cat to have a place to feel comfortable.
Some cats are able to adapt to other cats in the home and share.
With different breeds and natures of the cat, will also depend
on the cats being able to share one area. There are cat breeds
that are just naturally a single pet and will not fit in the
home with the presents of other cats or dogs around. These types
of cats will have high stress and quick aggression towards other
cats. You can get more information on the type of breeds that
will live together and those that need their space. There are
plenty of books and internet sites for you to check out.
Hitting your cats will not accomplish any thing; this will make
your cat fear you, as this will lead to no communication with
your cat. Training will be impossible, as communication is the
most important thing when training your cat. Physical punishment
to any animal is never a good thing to any animal. Remember your
cat is a companion and a friend. We, as humans, would never
physical or mentally hurt our love ones or friends.
Remember if the cats are not fighting and are just playing with
each other, this is a sign of good communication with each
other. Allowing the communication to continue will help the
relationship with the cats and with you. Communication is a
great tool when trying to train your cat.
