| If they're not fixed - especially if Christie is male - that
may have alot to do with their behavior. Males especially can
become very aggressive when they mature. Neutering them can
solve the problem.

I have also seen it happen in young females when they "mature" and start
challenging as "top cat".....maybe a trip to the vet is in order?

Both of them are female and both of them are fixed.
I thought cats calmed down a lot after they were fixed,
but Christy seems to get more agressive every day.
Could it be a matter of "challenging the top-cat", I thought
only males concerned themselves with that?

THAT is 3/4 of the problems we've had with Tymothee! Isis,
Mao & Bumpy got really upset by the new cat in their territory!
Dundee never cared and he's the neutered male.

| My two former-female kitties have a definite "pecking" order. The
little cat (Nebula, my half-Siamese) is in charge, unless she gets too
far out of line. If she does, my big cat (JFCL, white with black spots
and about 6 months older than her companion) will give her a swat on
the nose as if Neb were still a kitten. Things were pretty panicky for
the first few weeks after I got Neb, though, until the two of them got
themselves straightened out. I think that The Fickle at first did not
realize that Neb was a small CAT, as opposed to some other kind of
small, potentially dangerous, animal - she had never seen a cat younger
than she was (an old, non-fixed tomcat had come with the house, so she
was used to him - he eventually vanished, probably the loser in some fight
- my (ex-)husband would never let me get that cat fixed because he was
a tom). They did better after that. Neb became the leader when she was
close to full-grown; she is much more aggressive like most Siamese.

| Absotively, she is establishing her self as Boss-cat.
I have two cats about seven years old, both spayed females. The
smallest one who has extra claws has established that when food
is given she eats first. The other cat, a larger mackeral striped
tabby sits and waits until the other one is finished.
The smaller cat is also very picky about who the other cat selects
for a male companion. She has chased away several of the cats who
come calling.
