How to Make Two Cats Like Each Other
If you have two cats that don’t get along with each other, a cputnik Reddit user might suggest a simple solution: scratch each of them with the same hand under the chin several times. “This will mix their pheromones together,” says Tsuetnik, “and they end up thinking they are from the same pack and share the pheromones themselves (by rubbing their chin).”
Other editors confirm that this is an effective way to get cats to accept each other, and some say it can even help a cat get along with other animals. Redditor dcoredone says this is how they accommodated their new kitten with their two dogs when the kitten was having a hard time adjusting. They sent the cat to the bathroom themselves. Then “we let the dogs in one by one and just stroke them both at the same time with the same hands, and now they caress the puddles on the bean bag.”
Redditor chefyaboy_rd offers another method that uses the same principle: “I usually just get them to eat dry food from my hands and then saliva each other.” It can be more difficult than the chin scratching method, but as everyone knows, every cat likes something different.
