Hey, everyone! I have my certificate in veterinary assisting, and I worked as a Vet Tech for a few years, but I’m still at a loss on this one. I rescued my cats about three years ago, they’ll be six this summer. They are both spayed females, and they are from the same litter, so they’re actual sisters. Ever since I’ve had them, they have been completely inseparable. They sleep together, eat together, cuddle together, and when one of them can’t find the other, they’ll run around the house howling until the other comes running.
All of the sudden, one of my cats started hissing and growling at the other one. My gut instinct was that she was either in pain, or sick. She doesn’t have any signs of illness, and she’s not showing aggression towards the dogs or people. Not to mention, her aggression with her sister is very on and off. Yesterday they were fine all day, cuddling and everything. This morning she started hissing and growling at her again, then was fine a couple hours later, then went back to being aggressive. I started thinking a possible UTI, or bladder stones, which could cause aggression when she was in pain, so I brought her into the vet. She was given a shot of some antibiotics and a pain reliever, and they sent her home as they were unable to get a urine sample for a urinalysis. There hasn’t been any physical fights, which I’ve been glad about. She won’t even let her sister near her when she gets into one of her moods. She’ll walk into a room, see the other one and immediately start hissing. However, the other cat is completely un-phased by all the hissing and growling and will just sit there and stare at her until she gets bored and walks away. Does anyone have any idea of what might be going on? I don’t know what to do at this point. Thanks, everyone.
