Damn, things are getting worse with Luna and Lily!

Female cats can be a real pain in some households.

I totally agree. Both of my girls not only fight with each other but with any of my male cats as well. This is one reason why I do much better with male cats.

Kirsten, I'm sorry to hear that your having these problems. Hopefully things will work out soon.

Hi Kirsten
I know how hard this is on you and Luna.
I was wondering if you could put Luna(your older original kitty) in your bedroom.

Luna deserves to have you all to herself for a while.
She's older and now with the weight issues and maybe some depression.
not as quick to get back at her younger sister,it may help Luna's self worth and it will remind
her of how important she is to you.
making her the Queen.

Or better yet,only at night when it's time for bed,bring Luna in.
i know Lilly will protest but after awhile the noise outside the bedroom will quiet down.
(we had to do that on different occasions)

litter boxes and water bowls in both areas are a pain but i think it may help.

If this is not a good idea,i still am thinking of another.

or...how about a spray bottle for Lily when she acts on Luna.
Spraying Lily every time she starts to pounce on poor Luna.

Catfamily, thank you for offering some advice. Luna and Lily are always allowed in my bedroom, and they're sleeping in my bed right from the start. In fact, that's the place they're fighting about. A spray bottle may be in an option in the summer, but right now it's too cold. I have started scolding Lily whenever she started threatening Luna, and the last nights, it worked. She backed off then and spent some time at the top of the cabinet while Luna stayed in bed with me. I have always thought it's not a good idea to interfere their fights and taking sides, but now with Luna getting older, I really think she needs my support. May raise more tension on Lily's part, but I can't help it...

i just thought of an idea.( i forgot about our problem child 'vicky' ,lol )
she is a terror.always was from the start.
But she has been doing really well lately,because i am using reverse psychology with her.
While in her prey mode,i get her preoccupied,calming her and the other cat she wants to fight.or jump on,
by patting both at the same time talking soft.
it's working but it is a lot of hard work for me and mike.

Awww, ladies, please don't fight about the big bed. I am sure there is plenty of room for both of you and your meowmie also. I'm glad things have gotten better. Here are some gentle ((((HUGS))) for Luna and Lily

Your admiring fan,
