Hi,
I had a small problem that started last night with my two kitties that I thought I would approach you guys for...
I have 2 cats, one male and one female (both fixed), whom I've had for 5 and 4 years. They've always been friendly since the beginning. Last night, my male, Aidan, had to go to the vet, and when I got back with him about 1 hour later, Mina (the female)went to sniff him, and hissed. I thought this was no big deal at first, because he may have smelled like other animals, people..an overall "vet" smell. But the hisses continued all night (one-sided...he never responded to her, just walked away), ending up with her hissing and growling all night long. I woke up 3 AM this morning to her uttering her very low growl. It continued this morning as I was getting ready to leave.
I am concerned. I thought it was vet smell that was initiating this behaviour, but she seems very irritated with him for some reason. I can't think of anything else it might be stemming from! Right before I went to the vet, they were acting like their normal selves. Any ideas??
