I really need some help with this. I'd love to hear any and all suggestions!
Muffy got spayed this week (finally and $150 later!). She came home yesterday with a cone on her head because she was tearing out her stitches. Well, Puffy took one look at her and decided she's EVIL or something. My totally placid cat has been growling, hissing, and making horrifying sounds at her since I brought her home. Muffy, on the other hand, ignored him at first, and then started attacking him. She launches herself at him and, if it weren't for the cone around her head, she'd be biting him. Neither cat is getting hurt, but they're both stressed out, and I'm worried about Muffy's stitches.
Any ideas of how to get them over this? I've just been letting them work it out on their own since there's been no injuries, but it's scaring my kids, freaking out the cats, and keeping everyone awake at night. I really hate seeing my cats like this. Puffy is Muffy's kitten from last year, and they've been best buddies this whole time. It's very upsetting!
