Well first of all, I want to thank everyone on this site for their posts. They have been a great help to me over the last several months!
I found a young, starving, pregnant cat in July. Three weeks later, she had 7 healthy kittens. I found homes for 5 of the kittens. I kept mama, and one male, and the runt female. The kittens are just over 5 months old now. I got mama spayed when she stopped nursing. I got the male nutered about three weeks ago. I got the female spayed on Wednesday. I had her in the bathroom for three days, so she could have some recovery time. Every one has gotten along great, until now. They were all the best of friends, cuddling all the time. The brother and sister were partners in crime, and were always together. So I let the female out of the bathroom today, and mama and her brother are being very aggressive. They are hissing, growling and swatting at her. I am worried, because she is so much smaller than the other two. I feel like whatever the reason, if I put her back in the bathroom, its just gonna be that much worse when I let her out. She backs down though, so it does not turn into a full blown fight. I just want peoples opinion on what may be going on with them, and what I can do to fix the problem. I have gotten great advice and support from this website, and I really appreciate your opinions and expertise. Thanks-- Cricket, Hex, and Cicadas mom.
