I have two that hate each other and one little neuroweirdo that bounces into every fight between the other two. I've tried feliwsy and it helped a little bit we still have daily fights. Any tips?

Fighting got a lot better when we moved to a bigger place. Now you actually see them side by side like this occasionally. Obviously, "get a bigger house" is not really an answer, but making sure they each have their own space might help.

Just like there is no hate like Christian love, there is no hate like cat hate. IDK, many cats seem to prefer a certain amount of hate and conflict.

We're in about 2400 sqft now with 3 cats and 3 dogs- half of those we took in 2 years ago when my mom moved in. Everyone wants to be in our bedroom so my mom's cat marks the bed when we're not there. If we lock them all out of the bedroom, she poops outside the door in protest.

That's miserable.

You might try one of those motion activated air duster things. Or a catapult for the worst one.

Bear in mind that they could be playing, cats play rough. The volume is usually a good indicator of how serious it is.

Is that an Owl House reference?

Either way, they're very sweet looking. Even posing for a photo despite "not getting along"

You stole my cat!?

I'm not familiar with Owl House.

Lilith, obviously the solid black one, is dumb as a box of rocks. She can be a real pest about wanting attention and will slobber on you and lick you.

Lulu is a deadly mouser and very smart. She is feral in her mannerisms. Does love to be petted but wants to have an escape route. Won't get in your lap.

Owl House was a show on Disney during the pandemic (2020-2023) It has a character named Lilith, who's nickname is Lulu. It just lined up really well lol

I'd prefer Lilith lol, need a cat that wants to be carried around.
