Post Neutering Stress

baka Mar 12, 2008 02:46 PM

Yesterday I had my boys neutered. Poor kitties. When I brought them back from the Vet they were quite irritated naturally but strangely to me they started to hate each other. They are constantly hissing and yelling at each other. They cannot simply stand each other in the site. I hope this is temporary and soon they will become buddies as they were. Each one trys to snuggle with me to be petted and comforted but when the other sees it, he hisses and trys to scare him off. Did you have similar experience?

Don't worry -- this will pass quickly.
What your boys are reacting to is the strange (to them) smell each one picked up as a consequence of the surgery. Once the smell goes away they will be fine again!
