We have 6 cats, including a 2 year old mother and 5 siblings that are 1.25 years old, 1 brother and 4 sisters. We are all living in 1 house, with 4 litter boxes (1-2 cats use them).
Now, they are getting jealous and fighting with each other. This is quite upsetting to us. We are just a 50+ couple. The 2 sisters started to spray outside recently. All of the cats were spayed/neutered when kittens, at 4 months. All get a 30 minute walk with the wife most days. She is conscientious about treating all fairly.
Some days 2 of them may be bffs. This past week 5 of the cats are bullying and hate the 6th cat who is feeling scared, very insecure, and afraid to go on our walks now. Fights break out when one sniffs another's butt (so annoying for the sniffee), or walking by another or bullying.

I have had the same problem with my 3 unrelated cats.My vet has strongly suggested that I need to have one more litter box than I have cats. You have 4 litterboxes? You need 3 more. It has not helped their aggression problem, but it may help you. My vet, who is a holistic vet, has also given me a tincture, to give my male cat, who sprays.
I wish I could say I have a ready answer. I do think that your problem may be temporary as your kittens are still pretty young. They no doubt have issues we cant even imagine. I would give it a few months and hopefully they will either grow out of it or get over it. Beautiful cats!
