Hey everyone !
I have a problem and i think it may have been my fault.
After my cat Khaleesi got spayed, i kept her and my other cat Finn (who were the best of friends prior) separate until the 7 days the vet recommended.
They would see each other on occasions but Khaleesi would be in a playpen and Finn would hiss and leave.
After the 7 days i started the reintroduction with scent and slowly tried to feed them at the same time with Khalessi eating in the playpen facing Finn on the outside. It took more than a couple of tries for Finn to finally eat her food facing Khaleesi but once she was able to, i tried to remove the playpen (by this point it was about day 9 and Khaleesi no longer had her e-colar on). Now Finn will not stop trying to hit Khalessi when she passes and i have noticed a change in Khaleesi (who is younger but before getting spayed took on the alpha role pretty easy, as Finn is a bit of a scaredy cat) Now it seems that Finn is almost bullying Khaleesi and she is just not the same after her recent interactions with Finn which have a lot of hissing, growling and even hitting involved. Today was the first day i let them both be out and about in the house (without being separate) while i was at work for most of the day, and im not sure what might have happened while i was away at work and its making me feel a bit guilty because i thought they were ready since its been about 10 days since Khaleesi was spayed.
I dont know if maybe i may have done something wrong, but i just want my babies to be besties again how they were before or at least for Finn to stop treating khaleesi as if she doesnt know her.
What can i do ?
Please help !
Thanks so much in advance.
