Blkcatgal,

Thanks...Humane Society (they did the grooming) told me it's because
they were in shock, first time they had been groomed...as in the only
fur left on them is on their paws, tails, and head

But I have taken a T-shirt I worn rubbed it all over both of them,
when they get seperated almost all the time...they're in same bdrm
(not together) so they're getting each other's scent

I live in a small apartment...2 bdrm but daughter & grandduaghter are
here too making it very crowded..had to kick them out was supposed to
be a one month stay, Oct will be 5 months...I gave her a 30 day
notice  actually a few more days Oct 7 she has to be out....She's
putting my housing in jeopardy
sorry got way off base

both cats alone are super affectionate, much more than usual..yes
they've always been loving...now they're kling-on's driving me up the
wall  wanting to be your lap every second and trying to climb up on me
and my daughter, something they've done....odd thing I think they miss
each other

don't know what else do...the Vet had no more to offer than what all
ready was said here, Humane Society same way

There's beauty in the sunrise in the sky,
But none of these and nothing else can match the beauty,

I was told it was the smell, etc.  But you would think that after a few days
the smell would go away.  I tried rubbing both of them with the same piece
of clothing...I used an old robe of mine.  Figured they would both end up
smelling like me.  And I had feliway diffusers in the house.  Nothing seemed
to help.  My vet had no real explanation saying that that behavior usually
should last only a day or so and for it to go on for so long was kind of
unusual.  She told me that the next time I brought one to the vet, I should
bring the other.  Fortunately I haven't had to do this.  The next time I
took the one to the vet, when I brought him home, I kept the 2 cats
separated for an hour or two, then let them together slowly.  There was
still some attacking, fighting, hissing, but it lasted only a day or two
rather than over a week like the first time.  Don't know why my one cat
reacts this way.....usually he is quite docile and affecionate.

I think that in ensoul's situation, it is a combination of the smells, the
fact that both cats were groomed and now look really different (no fur) and
the other people in the house are causing some issues.  There's just too
much going on that the cats can't seem to relax......cats are pretty
perceptive.
