Just updating in case anyone can offer me further advice. My cat that went to the vets (Teddy) has been accepted again by one of her sisters - the one who was quite spitty and grumpy (Geoff), not the one who was off the charts grumpy (Bennie). I've been keeping Bennie separate while Teddy and...

Still no progress. Now having to see rehoming as a possibility. I'm heartbroken beyond belief. It's mad how just one vets visit can rip apart a little family that were the best of friends.

They're all spayed. It's definitely just the vets visit that has set them off. Cats are just bonkers with the way their minds work, aren't they? I think (well, hope) it's just going to be a case of time and perseverence with them. It's just stressful all round though as the cats' routine is now...

I live in a two bed apartment. Each cat currently has its own room to seek refuge in. I'm keeping Bennie (she is the hyper hyper sensitive cat separate from everyone but her mother (who she's okay with) the moment. When she comes out of the bedroom and is getting spitty at the different scents...

Sorry to keep bumping this thread with questions, I'm just very stressed out and tired. In reagrds to scents, my upset cats start spitting as soon as they come out of their designated spaces and can smell other cat scents even when there is clearly no other cat there. Is this just something I...

Yup! It's happening right now (gone 1am here in the UK). The cat everyone is mad at just wants to hang out with her sisters. She's oblivious to there being something wrong and as she's never been on her own, she won't let me go to bed. I feel so sorry for her. Anyway, thank you for all your...

No, sadly music hasn't helped. I've sent for some Feliway Friends diffusers and sprays and they'll arrive tomorrow. I'm not sure what else I could do. My cats are happy and relaxed when they are in their own areas but of course there are times when they get bored and want my company and those...

Thanks for the reply. I haven't tried scent swapping just yet because I think the cat that went to the vets still smells funky. At least when they smell her on me, it enough to set my other cats off spitting. It something I will so though and I will definitely start switching the litter boxes...

Probably going to bring the mood of this thread right down but I just need somewhere to vent about the loneliness and helplessness I feel when there's unrest in my cat household. Have a bad case of non-recognition aggression atm and having to keep all my cats pretty separate for the time being...

Just an additional question to everyone. So one of my cats went to the vets and her 2 sisters are as stated being aggressive towards her. But they are also being aggressive towards each other too so I'm keeping the three of them separate. Has anyone else experienced this? I mean, I'm hoping the...

^ My cats are all indoor cats too and I live in a 2 bed apartment. It's difficult to keep them apart but I feel it has to be done because the attacks are quite intense and the upset one just won't back down. My hope is that when the cat that went to the vets washes all the paraffin off and...

May I ask, do you keep ragdoll and her sister separate while all the aggression is taking place? Are they housecats or outdoor cats? That's interesting about a bath. You're brave. I don't think it's an option for me. I like having limbs ;)

I took them all to the vets today but it didn't have the desired affect. One cat, Bennie, in particular is still furious. I have 5 cats in total and only so many rooms to keep them separate in. It's so sad because before the vets visit they were the best of friends, sleeping together, playing...

Thank you. I will try. It's just so stressful when the cat family is unsettled, it just feels like everything is up in the air and uncertain.

I realise that it's non-recognition aggression and sadly the cloth and vanilla techniques don't tend to work with Bennie. She becomes so very upset. But thank you for taking the time to reply. I'll keep Bennie separate for now. In future I will be sure to take the other cats to the vets too. It...
