My 8 month old kitten was spayed today.
Something I wasn't prepared for -- when I brought the kitten back home today, the mother hissed at her (and continues to do so).
This sucks. I know cats go by smell and, surely, my kitten smells like the clinic. She's also been walking funny from being drugged out. All of these factors combine to make her unrecognizeable or undesireable to the mother cat. But it's been hours and the mother is still hissing. She even appears to be hissing at me. My cat has been remarkeable because she never hissed at anyone or other cats before. And now she's hissing at her one and only best friend and daughter.
