Cat Forum / General Topics / November 2004Puzzling Feline Behavior
I have two male cats - both neutered - who have lived inside my home peacefully for the past four years. Recently one of them got out and spent the night Lord knows where. I was worried sick cause he'd never been outside before. He came back the following morning. Since his return, the other cat has hissed and growled at him continually. He has never acted like that before. What in the world is his problem? The one who got out is fine, not harmed in any way, but cowed by the aggressive behavior of his housemate. I'm baffled. Any ideas? > I have two male cats - both neutered - who have lived inside my home > peacefully for the past four years. [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > > I'm baffled. Any ideas? Try a scent transfer. Rub the inside cat wish a washcloth and then rub the outside adventurer with the same cloth. The adventurous one smells differently than the other one was used to, so this confused the cat. >Try a scent transfer.

I would have the vet check things out first. Maybe the got into something poison and that is what the other cat smells? I would keep the cat issolated in a seperate room until the vet can check things out. I did this, and it worked!

I volunteer at my local shelter and my own Missy always gives me a puzzled look when I come home with what must be the smell of dozens of strange cats on me..! She doesn't act up though, fortunately..! Ivor >He came back the following morning. Since his return, the other cat has >hissed and growled at him continually. He has never acted like that bef When we brought our three back from an overnight stay at the vet they were upset, hissing and growling at each other. The vet said it wasn't uncommon, mostly the different scents after being away from the home overnight. This is just a guess, perhaps a bit of a wild one.  SignatureIs there another word for synonym? >I have two male cats - both neutered - who have lived inside my home >peacefully for the past four years. [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > >I'm baffled. Any ideas? Have you had the vet check the cat out? My inclination is something about the cat smells different, that might be what is causing the problem. |
