Como hacer que mis gatos SE LLEVEN BIEN y NO SE PELEEN 😾⚔️😾 | Gatos que se llevan mal y se pelean

I've already talked to you on the channel about how to introduce two cats so they get along. But what happens if they already live together and can't stand each other like.

You and I do? Just imagine.

Hi, I'm Carlos, a clinical veterinarian at Small Animals. Welcome to the Happy Pets and Families Channel. Cats tend to have a personality that is, well, lets call it peculiar. They are animals that tend to be quite territorial and although they are very sweet with us, there may be another cat that has started living with them and they can't stand each other and that makes their coexistence a nightmare. That's why it's very important that their coexistence always starts off well. I already talked about that in another video that I'll leave here for you to watch. But if you're also looking for information on how to introduce two cats, this video is also of interest to you because it's important that you learn to recognize which behaviors are telling us that things aren't going so well.

So.

So watch this video until the end because you'll also be able to apply the advice I'm going to give you in it. And if you're not at that point, you've already introduced two cats and they don't get along. This video is for you. What else can I say?

Lots of blah, blah, blah. No, we're already becoming my worst hater, right?

You have to know that this process is going to be quite, quite slow. You don't want to see results from day one and you're going to have to get involved 120% because you're going to have to avoid any type of situation that generates friction between the cats, because all that could end up triggering a fight and well, the situation could end up being disastrous. And we don't want that. So today I've created the Ten Commandments for you. Give me the tablets of the law here. The 10 Commandments to avoid cat fights at home. Look how good.

Interlude. This video is useful for when two cats are bad or more than two cats or 80 cats or whatever.

Okay, this video is designed for when cats don't get along. But. But it's clear that it's going to help you a lot more when there are only two cats, because there are fewer points of friction than when there are a lot of cats, because it could be that one cat is especially antisocial and that's the one that's having problems with the other cats that live in your house. So you're going to have to Manage each of the parties that are in conflict very well. That is to say, each of the cats.

It serves as a guide. It serves as a guide, but you should know that there you're going to have a little more complicated, more fun time, right?

Yes. Ah. Commandment number one. Each cat will have its own things. It's very important that you identify the three main resources that cats can compete over, which are food, resting areas, and also litter boxes. Therefore, if you live together at home with two cats that don't get along very well, you'll have to make an effort to make sure that each one has its things separate from those of the other cat. For example, with the issue of litter boxes, in these cases, I do recommend that you have one more litter box than the number of cats you have at home. In other words, you the famous formula of N1. In other videos, I usually recommend that you have one litter box per cat, but here it will be useful to have one more to avoid any problems. Also, the litter boxes will have to be covered because nobody likes someone watching or bothering them at such a delicate moment. A covered litter box will allow your cat to be at a time when they feel quite vulnerable, which is when they are doing their business without the other cat stalking them from a distance or even jumping on them. The second commandment. You will observe your cats above all else. You will have to know very well and understand very well what the cat's body language is. If one cat, for example, likes to be up high and the other likes to rest in a lower area, you can move that cat's resting area, bed, etc. To the area where it normally is, because that way there won't be any kind of dispute, since one likes to be in one place more than the other. Is that clear? The third commandment of the league of cats. Divide and conquer. Well, I think some Roman emperor once said this, but. But I'll take it from him. If you see that your cats are fighting over food, you'll have to separate their feeding areas. It's fine for each one to have their own food bowl, but if they don't get along very well when it comes to eating, it's a good idea to have them in two separate rooms. I know that you may find it much more comfortable to have them together, because that way there are fewer areas of your house that get dirty. But in these cases, believe me, it's very important. You can also, if they don't get along particularly well, close a door in between to prevent the more dominant cat from Taking the food from the more submissive cat. In these cases, you should always feed the dominant cat before the submissive cat to prevent the dominant cat from eating the food from the submissive cat's plate. You can tell if your cats are eating in a stress manner if you see one eating very quickly, looking to the sides all the time, and especially if they don't put their butt on the floor while they're eating. This is a sure sign that they're not calm at a time when they feel especially vulnerable, like when they're in the litter box. The fourth commandment of feline law. Yes, play is all powerful. In situations where cats are playing, they tend to be much more relaxed. So you can take the opportunity to play with both cats little by little. Don't do it all at once, but you can start playing with one, and if the other one gets closer, distract it with the other hand to prevent them from having arguments during playtime. Little by little, they will start to recognize each other as playmates, and you can start playing with both of them together. But this is something that will take a little time. The fifth commandment. But these are not Roman numerals. The commandments are written in Roman numerals. Okay? The fifth commandment will reward their tranquility. When you see that the two cats are starting to tolerate each other a little or are close to each other and are relaxed, not looking at each other or challenging each other at that moment, you will have to give them some kind of reward, a treat, a pet, because that will help them foster that attitude, because it will help them understand that getting along with each other is cool, because our human will come to give us something to eat, as with food. And in this case, you will have to give the treat to the dominant before the submissive, because if you give it to the submissive first, the dominant may want to take it away, and that will end up triggering a fight. If there are several dominants, you give them all at the same time to the dominants and the submissives, there is always one that is more dominant than the rest. So you will always have to give it to that one first and then to the rest. And yes, always depending on the hierarchy that they have established at home. Some people say and have left comments that are not true, that they believe it is a question of personality, but not that there is an established hierarchy. Cats do not have such a pyramidal hierarchy as dogs do. That is true. But it is true that there is always some type of dominance relationship between one and the Other, even if it is personality, but. Well, personality is also part of that social hierarchy that they establish. Well, this commandment is an annex to the commandment. This is not for your cats, but for you.

A darmation approached you, but it didn't come into the frame.

Yes, it stayed right there next to me. And I noticed a presence because I also noticed the footsteps thump, thump, thump on the ground. And I thought, who's coming up behind me? Let's continue with the feline commandments. 6th or 6th pheromones will be your great friends. As I always tell you in these types of videos about feline behavior, synthetic feline pheromones can help you a lot. And in this case too. Well, I already talked about them in more depth in a video on the channel, and I'm going to leave it here for you to watch so that you know what types of pheromones there are and which ones might be useful for introducing or helping two cats get along with each other. They're not always the same, of course. What would they be in this case? In this case, they would be feline calming hormones. If it sounds like Chinese to you, watch the video because it's going to be super expensive. 7. 7 or 7. You shall not scold your cats. This is something I also always say, and I'll never get tired of saying it. Cats have an untamed and wild character and they don't take it well when you arrive. And on top of them having a pretty bad time, you start yelling at them, please don't do it. Because that will only create more tension and stress, and in the end, it will also cause them to feel insecure around you. If they were already insecure around the other cat, and if you add to that the fact that they can't even feel safe with their human, then that's it. No, not you. So, my love it's important for me to say one thing. I know that water spray is controversial and you shouldn't use it regularly because it also causes stress in cats. But if you see that a very strong fight is breaking out between them in this case, I do recommend using it. But only in this case. Not only because they pass by and glare at each other, but also if they have already engaged in a fight from which you can't separate them. Before they destroy each other, give them a good beating and let them separate. It's always a question of avoiding the greater evil, of course. Eight or you'll learn to recognize tense relationships. How nice. How perfect. It's normal for two cats that live together from time to time to hiss or even smack each other because one cat might come along and bother the other too much. Well, none of that means that these two cats don't get along, but rather that they're simply establishing these social relationships that I've already told you do exist between cats. However, if you see that they can't stand each other, that just by one cat coming in the other one's ears are already pinned back to hiss or mark their territory a bit, then that's a tense relationship. You'll have to recognize why they're behaving that way if they're already competing for something. And try to find the solution that I'm telling you about in this video. Don't get all worked up over the first time you see two cats smack each other. There they are each putting themselves in their place and saying, hey, look, you go here. I go here because I can do more than you, or because I have more dominant power in this house. For example, in the video of Dana.

And Jackie, that example was just coming to mind. And they get along well.

Yes. In the video of Dana and Daisuki, who were getting to know each other at that time, but were getting along well. There is a moment when Dana tells him, don't go too far, don't go too far. This is my territory right now. Their relationship is completely loving. And Dana probably won't do it with Jackie anymore because Jackie has already learned her place in the house. I'm referring to something completely different, which is the aggressive language of cats, ears back, hissing and snorting and things like that, that the other cat also faces you. That type of thing. Nine or nine Sterilization can help you. The fewer ingredients we add to the cocktail of the relationship with our cats, the better. And sex hormones are a very, very dangerous ingredient. They can end up leading to territoriality simply by marking their territory. And that can lead to the two cats not getting along very well, especially if they are males. If you prevent the cat from marking its territory with its urine and leaving its pheromones there, you will also greatly reduce the stress between the two cats and you will greatly improve their coexistence. Questions, right? And 10 it seems like I'm saying no, but oh well. Or 10 if the relationship goes badly, ask a higher power here you have to enlighten me.

The higher power here I am.

No, the higher power is an ethologist. If you see that your two cats do not get along at all, please go to a professional in feline behavior, an ethologist, because they will be able to indicate the specific guidelines for your cat. You will be able to identify where the friction is and find a solution. Remember that if the relationship goes awry, it can end up leading to territorial aggression or stress induced aggression, which I already talked about in another video on the channel, which I'm going to leave here for you to watch so that you also know a little bit about how to deal with it in these types of cases. And if you have already applied the other nine commandments and they are not working, do not go around fighting with your cats and please go to a professional to address the situation as soon as possible. And for all the people who ask me if I know an ethologist, well, it depends on where you live, but generally in large referral hospitals they usually have athologist services, they usually have consulting services, or the vet can come to consult, and so on. I am not an ethologist, so we have to remember that, because each to their own. Well, you have now applied the ten commandments of feline law. How will you know if they are working? And if your cats are getting along well, you will be able to identify it. If you see that the cats start spending more time together, if they start sharing spaces, or if one day you even find them sleeping together, that's the best, because that means that everything has worked and that your cats are getting along with each other and that they are forming a cohesive social group without any tension between them. Regardless of the fact that, well, sometimes one of them might snap at the other. That is inevitable. Although there is a lot of blogging and blah blah. These ten commandments can be summed up in two. Above all else, you shall feed your cat and you shall not get angry if it wakes you up on Saturday morning by jumping on your bed, for example. And that's it. I Would love to tell you that this is going to be super quick and that, well, you won't have any problems. But it's true that each cat is different, and each cat's uniqueness that has already been proposed to the rye so that it can be included in the dictionary may require different solutions. Many times when it comes to cats that live together, we don't want them to be best friends, but rather that their coexistence is as good as possible and at least tolerated. And that's it. And that's it for today's video. If you liked it, give it a like and share it with those feline families that aren't very close and with.

Those that you also like so that you can learn a few things.

And, well, with everyone, of course. Of course. Thank you very much for following the Happy Pets and Families channel. And I'll see you in the next video. Don't go away, because now we're going to introduce your cats. And as always, we're going to end the video by getting to know your animal families. You introduce them to us through the Facebook group. And here we have Py Perez, who introduces us to her cat Sam and his poses. Look at him, he has a bug made only by how he's posing. And Pilar already introduced us to Perika Raitas and Noobi, but today she's here to introduce us to Pelusa Chanchida, who she says came with that name. She's an older cat who's 12 years old and she adopted her because her human companion passed away before her. But she says that if it's not love at first sight, what you feel when you see her is not love at first sight. Maria del Carmen Sandoval introduces us to the pet of the house. Look at him, please. We don't usually take dogs out, but because you introduce us to fewer dogs.

What's his name? It doesn't say it, but they give him lots of little hearts, so there's a lot of love. Hey, he's a troublemaker, right? Like all beagles, I imagine. And if you want us to meet your animal family, what you have to do is introduce him to us on the Facebook group. We'll select the photos from there and we'll show them at the end of our videos, little by little, you know. See you next week. Cats have a personality that. I'm not stealing from you, my friend.

To avoid arguments, first. Oh, what are ten things?

Why don't they say the Ten Commandments? Oh, okay.

They're in order of importance? Yes, more or less. Okay, these ten Commandments. So for today I've created them for you. And we don't want that. Oh, make me a hashtag with this. We don't want that. I say that a lot. Well, make me a hashtag. No, but put it here in front of me, because I always say it.

Take care. They always show Moses with that guy's face looking angry. Why was he so angry? Yes, but I already did that for number two. I should have done number two, number one. Because all that can end up triggering. End up triggering. Triggering lead to a fight. Yes, but triggering you trigger a fight. You have to take me out with Mount Sinai behind me and everything. Huh? The background is really gruesome. Six. Six. If you do it like that, it's four.

Ah.

Why didn't I change the fingers?

Because Roman numerals are engraved in stone and can't be changed. Are you going to write me a book? As if this were some kind of cat gospel.

Of course. That has to be written by people who talk about me. The apostles. No, man who wrote the Bible. Well, that's annoying. Then you dance a polka in front of the camera. We're poor.

That's not what I should say. But okay, since you mentioned it. 7. Wait, now I can't do it.

Why?

Because then it's two verses. What are you doing? What are you doing? No, no. This seven is clear, right? Or seven.

This is an eight. These are seven, right? Ah, you did it like that, right? Seven. Come on, let's go. It gives me an error.
