Is it normal for two adult female cats to fight?

[Catty1]

My cats did well after a week - and I knew they had to have a serious confrontation, even for a couple of minutes - to set their boundaries.

Lost of love for your kitties and give it time - and cats can play really really rough - don't worry!

Thanks so much for the advise and I'll give them some more time.

I'd also give it more time. It just sound like they're rough housing to me and my cats do this all the time. They may also be trying to figure out which one of them will be the alpha cat and the queen of the house. Unless they get too rough, I'd just let them work this out on their own. Good luck and please keep us updated.

Is Misty the white tortie??? Definitely give them more time to adjust to each other. When we have introduced a new cat to our gang(we have 8 now)it has taken time for everyone to smooth out their boundaries. Give lots of HUGS, kisses, and LOVE to them both. Also, a "treat" not only food when one is nice to the other. Good luck and keep us posted please.

I really appreciate all the great advise and I'll definitely do what you are all saying. Misty is the grey and white Tabby and Taffy is the calico. Thanks a bunch for everything.

Bubba and Ebony, my two oldest males, got into it exactly one time to sort out who's who in the zoo; they now at least tolerate each other. If you're worried that it's escalating, stand by with a squirt bottle, or distract them with toys.

Allow Taffy out ONLY under strict supervision, in case there's blood shed.

As Smokey the Elder said, "stand by with a squirt bottle, or distract them with toys".

You can also put pennies in an empty soda can and if it gets "hairy", shake the can. It'll scare the crap outta them both!!

Good luck!
