Me and my partner adopted 2 cats about a month ago. They are very cute and friendly most of the time and we love them very much. And it seems like they like it here too. But sometimes they tend to fight out of what seems like jealousy. Like if they both want to be pet at the same time, I try to do that. But often one of them hits the other one in these situations so they go away. I would like to show my cats that they don't have to fight each other for attention, but I don't know how to do that. Anyone have any tips for that?

Let them fight!

Cat politics are weird. If they aren’t hurting each other, then I usually think it is best to let them sort things out on their own. Cat slaps are a normal part of cat culture.

If it is getting extreme, they have pheromone sprays and diffusers that can help. If you spray it on your lap, then they have to enter the chill zone to get their pets.
