Hi I'm new here and looking for anything that might help my poor family. One of our cats got out for a lil bit and now her daughter hates her. What do we do?
We have 3 adorable cats that were very well behaved until a few days ago. We found Juno as a stray 4yrs ago and she was pregnant with Athena and Azura. We kept them all. They've always loved each other and gotten along until this weekend.
Juno got out Friday afternoon or evening and we didn't realize it until Saturday afternoon when she meowed at the window. My husband caught her and when he brought her in Athena just lost it and went completely berserk! She attacked her as if she was trying to kill her! When Juno ran to the basement Athena pursued her and attacked me and my husband when we dared to stop her. Then she turned on her sister too and scared her to death!
We've had her shut in the basement since then. We put her in the carrier later on in hopes that being able to see and smell everyone might help them reconcile. NOPE. Athena yowls and hisses every time they get near her! They get scared and run off and/or hiss back. Juno has been a little skittish but otherwise fine, Azura isn't thrilled and there's been a few hisses between them but theyre doing ok.
I hate keeping Athena in the basement just as much as she does. We shut the others in the bedroom yesterday and she was lovey dovey with me and hubby. Today i stacked gates in the upstairs hallway so they could try again. Still no dice. Athena puffs up and yowls and hisses whenever they go near the gate.
Does anyone know exactly wth is going on with our cats? I just want my sweet baby back any advice is greatly appreciated.
