Break Up a Cat Fight

Avoid hitting the cats or getting your hands anywhere near their mouths. Hitting could make the situation worse and could cause the attack to be redirected toward you.

Spray the aggressor with a water hose. If this doesn't make a difference, aim for the nostrils.

Hold a broom between the cats to separate them.

Use a noisemaking device such as an air horn to drive the animals apart, and be prepared to move away quickly or defend yourself.
