I have two girl kitties, Snap (7) and Grommet (5). After the introduction period a few years ago, they get along just fine. Sure, there's play tussling, but that's play and not real fighting. They are indoor-only kitties, although I do keep them up to date on Revolution because you never know with the mosquitoes in South Carolina. Enter in...a neighborhood girl kitty who is in heat and therefore meowling at night to attract the boys.
My girls can't see this cat - I have a fenced-in back yard and no windows facing the front yard on the first floor (and they don't peek through the blinds in the upstairs windows). But they can definitely hear her. Which leads to Grommet getting upset and attacking Snap. There's hissing, growling, meowling, the works. This of course only happens once I'm upstairs, in bed, lights out, and settled for the night. It's only happened twice over a few week span, so I've just been letting them work it out versus going down there and breaking the fighting up. It sounds like the fights maybe last a minute, probably less.
Because my house is 1500 sf spread over two levels, I'm not sure Feliway diffusers would work without taking stock in them! Any ideas?
