Hi - three days ago my 2 cats (Cilla - 10 years and Roo 9 1/2 years and both spayed) and began fighting after a male cat was outside our patio door. This male cat has been coming around for several months and I always shoo him away by spraying him with water. My cats would only be interested in the other cat and maybe growl at the strange cat - but it never affected their relationship before.
Roo seems to be more aggressive (although before she was timid and shy) and Cilla is backing off more. I have tried to keep them seperated in seperate room and spray them with water when they hiss and growl - or when they have fully fought. My son gets really scared when he sees them fighting.
I also don't know how to get rid of the male cat - I have a spray nozzle on my garden hose and am prepared spray him with that.
How can I get my cats to stop fighting? Please help! I am at my wits end with this!
