Hello everyone!
I live in a four cat household. We have to keep the group separated as my two original cats have not taken very well to my wife's two additions since we got married. It's been nearly a year and we've learned to keep the groups apart or fur will be flying and blood will be shed. (That's not exaggerated, it's straight up war of the cats if they get in the same room)
That being said we have had no problems for the past year keeping them apart but now all of the sudden the most dominant of my male adult cats is scratching and clawing at the carpet under the shut door where the two female cats are located on the other side that we're keeping separate. All cats are spayed/neutered so I have absolutely no idea why after nearly a year the cat is deciding to dig up carpet like crazy by closed doors? We have tried deterrents to no avail. He has a large cat tree which he likes to sleep on top of but doesn't scratch very much.
Any thoughts on how to fix this?
Many thanks!
Gary
