Episode 84 – Assessing and Managing Inter-Cat Tension & Aggression Cases

This week, I saw a 2-cat, a 4-cat and an 8-cat home, all with diagnoses of inter-cat tension or inter-cat aggression.

These cases can be really complex to work up and understanding the fine nuances of cat-cat sociability can be really challenging.

In this episode, I share the things I think about and the questions I ask when I go into a multi-cat home with inter-cat tension or aggression.

You’ll hear me talk about severity of behaviour, covert and overt feline aggressive behaviours, how to discern play from hostile behaviours, why it is important to assess everyone in the home including the cats not obviously involved in aggressive events and some mistakes that caregivers commonly make when they are living with cats who are fighting.

Have a listen also to episodes 18 and 48 of this podcast to learn more about resources and the 5 Pillars of a Health Feline Environment, both of which are so important when it comes to inter-cat tension.
