Conflict between resident cats can be identified using the interaction diagram shown in the overview section on [[Housesoiling - Cat|housesoiling]]. Apart from providing each cat or faction its own set of resources, it may be possible to improve cohesion between all group members by the creation of an enhanced group odour. Cats identify each other through the use of allorubbing and allogrooming to create a common odour signal that identifies all members of the group. Factions within a household may not allorub and allogroom, so they do not share a group odour. The owner can deliberately ransomer odour between group members through grooming. The core territory of cats is a location where they do not expect to encounter unfamiliar cats, and where they do not usually eliminate. The the use of an F3 (Feliway) diffuser may help to strengthen the core territory pheromone marks, and thereby reduce stress and social conflict between resident cats.
