I've been having some issues with four of my kitties and thought I'd run it by you guys and see if anyone had some advice on how to resolve this.
I have three sister cats that I've had since birth. (they were courtesy of a pregnant foster cat). The Triplets as I call them are very affectionate toward each other, they always snuggle and have mutual baths and were quite friendly to all my other kitties up until a last week.
Then they began attacking my black cat(who they grew up with). It seems to be totally unprovoked as the black cat can be minding her own business, even sleeping sometimes and the triplets will stalk her and quickly gang up on her. They have also attacked her individually, and not as part of the group.
So far there hasn't been any blood shed except for some scratches on one of the triplets. Black kitty is unharmed but very shaken now. She is always on alert and has stopped eating as regularly as she used to.
Th fights between these cats are very loud and sound very violent, and I always expect them to be bloody when I finally break it up.
I've been separating them for most of the day and when I leave the house, but my house is not really big enough to keep them separate permently.
I'm hoping someone can give me some suggestions on how to curb this behavior in the Triplets. They used to be friendly toward the black kitty and I honestly haven't a clue why they have suddenly started targeting her.
If they were dogs then I'd know what to do, but I haven't had to deal with aggressive cats before and I'm really at a loss. My pack has always gotten along so well until now.
