Expert Help for Cats in Conflict
You adore your cats, So when conflict breaks out between them, it’s deeply upsetting. The sudden bursts of aggression, the terrifying chases, the hissing and spitting, and bubbling tension and anxiety – it's heartbreaking to witness and has upended your home.
This isn't the calm, happy multi-cat household you dreamed of.
Instead, you're living in a state of constant vigilance, trying to keep the peace, or even splitting your home in two just to prevent another fight.
It's exhausting, emotionally draining, and steals the joy of relaxing and spending quality time with your feline family. This ongoing conflict can strain your bond with your cats too, with creeping frustration at the stress and chaos they are causing.
How Did It Get This Way?
Perhaps you got a second cat hoping to give your resident cat a friend, but instead, you feel you've introduced an enemy.
Or maybe you have two cats who have grown up together, but have turned on one another – watching tolerance turn to total war is hard to bear.
The emotional toll on your cats is clear; you might see:
Fear, anxiety, anger, and frustration in their constant hypervigilance.
They seem obsessed with monitoring the whereabouts of the other cat, living on high alert.
Some hide away, too stressed to venture out, while others prowl about, focussed on the next bullying opportunity.
The pervasive tension and conflict isn't limited to overt fights; it often manifests as one cat blocking another from accessing resources like food or litter trays, subtle intimidation, stalking, or ambush.
Beyond the emotional cost, there's the ever-present risk of physical injury and the nasty infections that often accompany cat bites and scratches, and the impact long-term stress can have on a cat’s health.
You've probably tried everything you can think of – scoured online advice, attempted gradual introductions, plugged in calming diffusers, or sought help from your vet. But the conflict continues, leaving you feeling defeated and wondering if there's any way forward.
There is a path towards a calmer home.
Imagine walking into your home and being greeted by peace, not fear of another fight breaking out.
Imagine seeing your cats able to share your home, without the constant tension, perhaps they have even rebuilt their relationship.
Imagine the relief, the peace of mind, and the simple joy of relaxing with your cats again, without the underlying stress of unpredictable conflict.
Making that vision a reality requires expert help you can trust.

Real stories, real results
“We’d 100% recommend Mat!
Our cats suddenly started fighting and we did not know what to do. Mat gave us an explanation as to why, and lots of tools and tips and tricks that we could try. It was always very nice talking to Mat, and he accompanied us on our journey to get our cats together again in a very reassuring way. With lots of patience, work and the tools Mat gave us, our cats managed to become friends again.
Thank you Mat!”
Nox and Sherlock - cuddle buddies again!
“My cats’ relationship broke down completely after one of them returned from a short stay in hospital and returned smelling like a ‘stranger’ to the other. Mat’s reassurance, helpful suggestions, and on-going availability via email during the four months that we worked to get them back together was appreciated. I am happy to say that our story had a happy ending.”
