Ok, our mother cat had kittens 2 years ago, and we kept one, so they are mother and daughter, we thought it would be nice.
We love both cats, although the thing is, even 2 years later the daughter cat is still fighting with her mother, she always starts it, she will often wait behind doors, jump on the mother while shes sleeping or just run at her while shes eating.
The mother used to be a lovely cat before all this, she is now very nervious and doesn't like to be around the daughter cat, if we show her any love the daughter will most likely pounce on her and attack her, its like shes very spoilt.
I've tried seperating them to some degree after they fight, but this doesn't solve anything really, she'll only go and attack her next time.
I'm just confused, i mean, the fights look farely brutal but last very quick and often end in the mother growling and hissing then its over, the mother is also twice the size of the daughter and has much bigger legs and paws but she doesnt seem to defend herself, she has like a really low self asteem.
on the other hand, the daughter is a very settled cat, perfectly fine with sleeping infront of the fireplace all night.. or on your lap... the other one tends to sleep in the cold kitchen all night... her own choice though.
has anyone any tips? i just want them too get on with each other abit more.
