My male cat attacks the female cat. How to make them get along?

Question

Hi, I have 3 cats that have temporarily moved in with 2 other cats. They have lived 2getha now for 5 months. 4 males, 1 female. All neutured. All my 3 males get on with the male but my cat Leo just doesnt like Clio the female. At 1st Clio would always and only be the one to hiss and go for Leo. Now its the other way round. Leo keeps going for her. She never comes inside anymore and is always on edge and afraid. I just dont know how to make them get. He only goes for her when she runs away. Pet's info: Cat | Domestic Shorthair | Male | neutered | 4 years and 2 months old | 4 lbs

There are some things you can do which may help. You will need to take these actions towards both cats. First, try to meet the instinctual needs. Here is a great article about cat's instinctual needs: https://www.petcoach.co/article/why-every-cat-needs-a-place-to-climb/ Make sure to have separate litter boxes and food/water stations to decrease competition. These separate stations need to be in different rooms. Using a Feliway diffuser, setting aside 30 minutes a day for vigorous play for both cats or switching the food to Royal Canin Calm may help. The veterinarian can also prescribe medications which can help with stress management. I hope this helps and please feel free to post any additional questions.
