So I have two cats, both sisters, 3 yrs old, both spayed, one is active, skinny and bitchy to everyone but me and my husband, and the other is fat, loud and an attention grabber.

Just recently, as in the past 2 months, we started to let them wander outside, because we moved into a nicer neighborhood. We usually round them up at night and bring them back inside, they go to bed with us happy.

Tonight we acidentally left them out a little bit after dark and that's where things get odd.

Ralph, the skinny one, tonight is hissing like mad at her sister and isn't liking to be petted for too long. She'll grumble and growl if we pick her up but we can't find any bites, scratches or anything physically wrong with her, no indications of a fight or skuffle.

Cinders, the fat one, is normal behaviour, except she is keeping away from Ralph. Could Ralph have gotten into a fight and just not be injured but spooked? They have had their rabies shots, but could that have failed? She's not going psycho, when we approach her, alone, she rolls onto her back, exposing her belly, or flumping, as we call it, and wanting to be pet.

What's up? I appreciate any help or advice you can give. Thanks!
