cats (m/m/f) got into a nasty fight early this morning

Hello there! It sounds like you’ve had quite an eventful morning. Cat scuffles can be quite alarming, but you're not alone—this is a common issue among multi-cat households. Cats may fight due to territorial disputes, redirected aggression, or even just a sudden irritation.



First, if any of your cats have visible injuries, gently clean the area with warm water and a soft cloth. It’s important to check for deep wounds or punctures, as these could lead to infections. Avoid using hydrogen peroxide or alcohol, as these can be irritating.



You’ll want to monitor your cats’ behavior closely. Signs like limping, excessive licking of a wound, swelling, or acting withdrawn could indicate pain or infection. Keep an eye out for fever, loss of appetite, or lethargy, as these may require immediate attention.



At home, provide separate spaces for each cat with essentials like food, water, and a litter box to reduce tension. Minimizing stress and ensuring everyone has their own space can prevent future squabbles.



If you notice signs of serious injuries or behavioral changes, I highly recommend booking a video consult with Dial A Vet. We can help assess the situation more thoroughly and provide guidance on the next steps. I’m here when you need assistance!
