cats fighting

I am just updating my recent problem of my two cats who use to get on now want to tear each other apart (well one does)
Nothing has changed, we tried everything, I even put one in a carrier and let the other wonder around but the one in the carrier tried to get out and the other just hides.

I also try and hold the one that wants a fight but she struggles and her claws come out when the other is near, as soon as she gets close enough she strikes out!

Any advice would be great but it is pretty bad

Ive tried, anti depressants, herbal pills, felloway (waist of time and money)

diet change if they are on anything that contains colours or any triggers for hyperactivity or unscocial beheaviour and keep your feliway plugged in with your food change do not force them to the same room just let them sort themselves neautering may help but it takes about 4 months too get rid of all the hormones and boredum brecking toys to find food or automatic mice tired cats cant be bothered to fight (hopefully) food i would recomend beign free from anything to make them more hyper woulld be science plan iams james wellbeloved pets at home the new one not the olld one or purley the last food is only 6.99 for 2kg its healthy and good value makes a change lol let me no how you get on nettie

ps it wont happen straight away after graduel food change allow at least 2 weeks its just like us diet can make a huge diffrence to there lifes.

hi Sarah, thanks for replying
They are both girls, age 7 and 8 years, neutered etc and are indoor cats.
We use to live in a flat and they got on, never like sisters but occasionally sleeping with each other, washing each other, the odd fight but then we moved to a house.
One scratched the other and we kept them separate that night, being it a new surrounding, after that they have hated each other.
I got lots of advice and some was wrong, I.e i should not have fed them separate or had separate litter trays, this made it worse.
One is more viscous and starts the attack and the other growls, hisses tries to run away before the other attacks. We have kept them separate for months now, as nothing is working and dont see them ever tolerating each other.
Seriously at the end of my tether! any advice would be grateful,

hi lisa, i must have missed the first part of this, can you please go back over it, ie when did the trouble start, had anything changed in the house, had there been a vet trip, how old the cats are, what sex they are and if they are neutered? putting one in a cage and leaving the other loose probably won´t help, neither will holding one near the other as this is forcing contact and will just stress them both out.
