My cats are fighting after grooming. How to stop long-term aggression?

Question

We have 3 cats, one older one 14 years old and 2 sisters 8 years old. The oldest a long haired white cat get matted in late summer so we usually have her shaved. This year I specifically asked them to use a no-fragrance shampoo during grooming. The grooming takes about 2 hours. After bringing her home the one younger sister and her have been going after each other rather violently. This is not an unusual occurrence but on most occasions it lasts no more than a week. It has now been 2 months. Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Female | spayed | 8 lbs

It sound like Ginger and the other cat in the house hold are having dominance issues over the house. I would recommend starting behavioral training and involving a trainer in the house. I would increase litter boxes and food bowls to make sure the cats have a stress free area. Also you can try feliway a cat pheromone to help decrease stress in the house. IF that does not work you can always contact your vet to see if any medications will helps. hope that helps and thanks for using pet coach
