Hi there and thank you for using pet coach to address your question. If you have not yet tried the Feliway products, I would recommend doing so. You can find Feliway online quite easily or at your local pet store. There is a spray and diffuser that I would recommend trying. I would also make sure that both cats have their own areas to get away from each other. The problem is, cats are very territorial and many times, having multiple cats does not work out. I hope the Feliway works for you. Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns and I would be more than happy to help you further.
