I have two adorable cats from the same litter. They were the last 2 left in the liter, and I couldn't seperate them, so I brought them both home. For the first 7 or 8 months of their lives they absolutely loved eachother. They spooned, cleaned eachother, played and generally hung out all the time. Now they are about a year and a half and hate eachother's guts. It started with them becoming more independent of eachother, and now they cannot even be in the same room. Freya (the female) will hiss and raise her hair at Indis (the larger male), who will revel in any chance he gets to sneak up on Freya and pounce. Now poor Indis has a drainage tube in his side from a cat fight which got infected, and is doning a fancy new cat-satellite for his head, and Freya seems to be rejoying that it's her time to rule the house.

What can I do to help stop this terrible rivalry? I make loud noises and make them stop fighting whenever they do inside the house, but outside they just run away from me and fight elsewhere.

PLEASE HELP!!
