1- felfel : male 3 years old i bought it when he was too young
2- bondoka: female around 4 years old i bought it adult and felfel was young and bondoka was beating him until felfel grown up
3- nemo: bonoka 's son male around 1 year old felfel was loving him but about 2 days suddenly felfel fought with nemo and bite it so bondoka wanted to protect nemo so felfel fought with it and i wanted to stop that fight so i sprayed water on them so the fight stopped

I get the impression your cats have not been neutered (or spayed, in the case of the female), and until that is taken care of, you will always have problems, plus the cats are more likely to be sick when they're older. It is also possible that Felfel saw a strange cat outside and turned his territorial aggression on the cat inside as it was available - cats do that and sometimes even attack their owners as their instinct to protect their territory is so strong they have to express it somewhere.

That's true, but you don't really need kittens, do you?

Plus your male(s) will probably begin to spray urine all over the house - it's what they do when they're not neutered (though to be completely honest, they may do it on occasion even afterwards (but my two don't).

You might as well have bondoka spayed too.

Over the river and through the woods...
First, are they actually fighting, or "play fighting"? Sometimes it's hard to tell the difference. It could be that the younger male is testing the boundaries with the older male to see if he can become alpha. If that's the case, it will only get worse until you get them neutered. Two un-neutered males in the same house is asking for trouble. Especially if the female is not spayed. I also would recommend spaying/neutering them as soon as possible just to keep peace in your home.

Oh, and welcome to TCS!
