These two adorable little monsters were left in a box out front of my wife's pet store, they purred so much when I was holding them. Don't worry they already have a foster, they will get well taken care of.

Can you separate them in different rooms? Slowly introducing them is more ideal than physical punishments like spraying with water.

Let them sniff each other under the door until they get used to each other's smells, then gradually increase supervised time in the same room together, separating them any time it turns feisty.

We did that for the first ~6 months, introduction was very slow

They're pretty good now, two of them used to fight on sight. Now they coexist in separate rooms (door open) without fighting

"Fights" happen when two try to play, but the unsocialised one doesn't know when to stop or back off
