We have 2 - a boy and a girl - wouldn't have it any other way. It really is like having kids. You have to have rules/guidelines and you're the enforcer. I wouldn't separate them unless there was a major fight - but keep your eyes on them. If you put one in a cage/xpen and not the other - it will cause problems. If the first one is the stronger personality - then acknowledge that by giving him the treats first but don't totally separate them.

My Mia was here first but is submissive on most things. The few things she insists on being the alpha about (going out any of the doors & being lead cat watcher) - Max respects. The other things don't matter to her so she lets Max think he's the Alpha with those.

The only problem we've ever had has just been recently. When we give them a flossie - it's at night when we go to bed and watch tv. Max decided he wanted both of them and would take off down the hall. I would have to go and take Mia's from him and give it back to her. Well, it escalated to where he looked like a shark going into a frenzy! If I just put my hand on the bed to look for the remote control he would make this weird sound and jump up scrambling around looking for the other flossie. After watching Victoria Stillwell I decided to try her "removal" method. Honestly, it only took 2 nights of removing him twice and it has stopped! I'll still stay on top of it but he now realizes that if he starts that - that he will be sent outside the bedroom door - separated from us. He does not like that! It was only for a few "seconds" but he's such a lovebug he doesn't want to be without us for one second.

Uh...one more thing. Both of mine are spayed/neutered. Maybe things will calm down when both of their hormones calm down.
