Cations just are! They are the positive part of ionic compounds, and as such are part of the way the universe is built.

How might cations in group 1 be separated from cations in group 2?
If your Group 2 cations are calcium, strontium or barium, add a solution containing sulphate ions, i.e. sulphuric acid or the sulphate of the Group I metal that is the Group I cations in your solution. The Group 2 cations will precipitate out with the sulphate ions. If you have beryllium or magnesium cations, then I don't know.
