    Identify the aggressor and victim, then separate the cats when they can´t be supervised. Give the aggressor corrective measures, and the victim rewards.

    Corrective measures can include: confinement in a less attractive space; place a collar and bell on the aggressor; squirt the aggressor with a water sprayer during aggressive acts.

    For the victim give rewards such as free roam of the house, plus edible and affection rewards.

    Gradually increase the supervised interaction, rewarding good behavior and using corrective measures against cat aggression.

    I had a screenedin porch added to the back of my house. Kitties love it and so do I! It is my favorite room in the whole house.

    If cats are bored they will fight. Make sure you play with them. Make sure they have toys, and install shelves on walls in steps so the cat can reach it to get away from each other. Get several cat trees and install them by several different windows.
