Thank you so much. I appreciate any and all advice/support. I know it’ll take time. I feel like they can eat food and treats near each other but besides that it’s tough. Just hissing and growling.
Hi. I’m a first time pet owner and got my two cats almost one year ago. I have two cats - a 3-4 year old female and a 2 year old female (they are mother and daughter; both are spayed). They’ve essentially been together their whole life. They sleep in the same room and have always gotten along...
Update: I took them to the vet and they’re medically clear which I’m happy about but this also means that this hissing issue is a behavioral thing.
Should I do the reintroduction?
Update: I said the my cat would only hiss at the other cat if they make eye contact. This is true but also just now one of cats was sleeping and when my cat got closer to the sleeping cat, she hissed three times so I guess it’s not only just eye contact but also a distance/smell? Maybe going to...
Hi. Honestly I’m not sure she’s in pain because I haven’t taken them to the vet yet. It’s about $73 each to get them checked out and broad (like ear, eye, etc.) so we’re waiting a bit on that. If things don’t improve slightly by Friday, I’ll talk to my parent about taking them (my parent is the...
Update: They both got a bath but one of my cats is still hissing at the other one :( I feel like she’s able to tolerate the other cat more but still the hissing.
Is there anything I can do to fix this other than the reintroduction?
Hi thank you so much for your reassurance. I’m so sad and distracted, I can’t even focus on my own activities.
I tried “scent swapping” where you rub a wash cloth/clothing on one cat and let the other cat smell it to see their reactions. And both my cats reacted okay? No hissing or airplane...
Hi! I guess nothing’s really changed except for my sibling going out the country for vacation about 6 days ago but they never stay too long due to living at dorms for college (they usually visit for the weekends).
They haven’t been to the vet or groomer’s recently but we did wipe them down...
Hi. I got my two cats almost one year ago. I have two cats - a 3-4 year old female and a 2 year old female (they are mother and daughter; both are spayed). They’ve essentially been together their whole life. They sleep in the same room and have always gotten along fine but today they started...
Hi, I’m a first time cat owner and have owned these cats for about one week now! My cats got spayed Friday 9/15, and have been in recovery since. They both aren’t in their e-collars because of removing them multiple times on their own. They don’t particularly lick or scratch their incisions. The...
Thank you so much for your kind words! I’m so relieved to hear the incision is healing properly. I’ve been so anxious and scared and probably will be until their healing period is over haha. I will post another update soon about them and their incisions!
Hi, I’m a first time cat owner and have owned these cats for about one week now. This one in particular is about 1 year old and she just got spayed on Friday 9/15. This is her surgical incision site yesterday 9/17. I tend to over worry and am extremely anxious because I want the best for them...
