1 Answer

Answer :

It’s possible that one is sick, and the acting out is stressing the other cat out. It could be behavioral, especially if you have stray cats (whether you know it, or not) hanging around outside of your house. Particularly by the doors or windows. If you have stray cats in heat hanging out around your house, it’s even more likely that your cats will be stressed.
