Now Lily is acting totally strange!! (some improvement, as it seems)

Josh acts like this when anyone of the cats goes to the vet now. He even will attack his own sisters and become a terrifying angry ball of fur at his previous best friends. I've now learned that when anyone goes to the vet (particularly Josh) I have to spray a blanket with Feliway and put it in the carrier before I take anyone. If that fails then I have to lock up Josh in a separate room by himself for a couple days until he cools his furry jets and gets along with everyone again.


Now if I could just get Bear, Pooky, and Jack to quit ganging up on Cami all would be great. Those 4 just haven't gotten along good since Dusty had to be separated from the rest for a couple weeks before she was PTS. I think they are taking out their aggression on Cami as a replacement for Dusty. *sigh* So goes life with multi-cat households.

I'm so sorry to hear this, Kirsten. Luna and Lily have always been two of my PT favorites. Have you spoken to your vet about this sad situation?

Hmm, well, sounds like a common thing in multicat household, and yet it never happened here before.

Lily spent the last night on the top of the cabinet (while Luna slept in my bed), she didn't come down for breakfast this morning, and as it seemed, she stayed there all day. Lily was still up there when I came home from work.

Eventually, I opened the catnip jar, and this finally made her come down. She enjoyed her catnip as usual, and soon Luna showed up as well. Didn't take long and both of them were rolling on the floor. When they met each other at the catnip jar, there was some whacking from both sides, but no hissing and growling. With the catnip scent in their fur, they both had something in common, which made it easier for Lily to accept Luna. But when the catnip session was over, Lily went back onto the cabinet.

Not long ago, she came down freely, and is now resting in her kitty bed in the bedroom, while Luna is on my bed. I hope things will slowly get back to normal.

It really seems to me as if Lily did not recognize Luna after the vet visit. Maybe due to the infusion she got, or the sedation, she had another scent. Poor Lily must have thought I took her beloved Luna away from her and brought another cat home. My mother jokingly told me to make sure that they gave me the right cat back at the vets. LOL
