I have two cats: Ben, who is 9 years old, and Hazel, who is 8 months old. They usually get along very well. Yesterday, she suddenly began acting like a psychotic kitty. Hissing, spitting and growling. She would not allow Ben near her. Once when he approached, they actually got in a tussle. That ended with poop all over. Another incident, later in the bathroom ended with poop all over the walls and floor. It was her poop. At first I wondered if she might be reacting to another animal outside. However, nothing seemed to calm her. I separated them last night and no one got much sleep. She is at the vet, who is planning to keep her at least four days. He is testing her for estrogen levels, even though she is spayed. He has given her a progesterone shot. Her blood work, taken to compare with that done in January when she was spayed, is okay. Has anyone any comment on this kind of behavior? If you have dealt with it before, what was the result? Thank you
