We just had our 5 month old kitten spayed. I know she was a bit young,
but she had already gone into heat and she was leaving wonderful
bloody-mucous puddles here and there (first time I've seen that with a
cat). She was away for two days and our one year old male cat (we have
four all told), who was her best buddy prior to the spay now hisses at
her and bats at her very aggressively. Is this behavior due to the
spay, due to the two day absence, or simply due to the fact that
Frankie (the male) is a wierd cat?

Thanks for any input.

Most likely because she doesn't smell like she did when she left.

My cats used to freak out when I brought my poodle back
from the groomer. They didn't recognize the smell.

She stinks, to him. She smells of the vet, of medication, blood, and surgery.
She smells sick. And cats don't treat other cats who are sick very nicely a
lot of the time.
Take yesterday's shirt or nightshirt, rub it on all your cats, then rub it on
her. Then take a teeny bit of vanilla extract and put a drop on each cat. It
helps them all smell the same again.

This is very common when a pet goes for surgery.
