I agree with Jazzcat, it's the vet smell. I don't think you need to worry - in fact you could take advantage of the situation and clip Luna's nails, clean her ears etc.

Kirsten, now that I am back from the vet with Ripley we are having the same issue. Both Rocky and Rumor hissed at Ripley when the first smelled him. Decker and Moxie won't leave him alone. The keep trying to sniff him, poor guy. He's angry enough as it is after having blood drawn and then sub-Q fluids injected. They better watch where they stick their noses, they may get a giant Ripley mitt swat.
They are even acting strange to me since I sat at the vet for an hour.

I have to admit though that I have never had taht happen. When Juke Joint Joseph came home from the Vets All the Found Cats were lined up to escort thier friend up the stairs.
It was touching to see Joey so honored by his friends a payback to when he was niceto them whem they were new at the Found Paradise Cat Hotel.
We are praying that Lily and Luna are pals again soon as you certainly dont need all that stress.

Peppito is doing the same with Jasmine. He also does it sometimes when he is upset, for instance if we don't let him go out, he will hiss and raise his paw to tell Jasmine "stay out of my way, I am the boss", but that's it, there is never any further consequence (no fight or something).
owned by Luna and Lily
Now, 24 hours after Luna came back from the vet, the situation hasn't changed. There's still a lot of hissing and growling when they meet, and meanwhile, Luna is getting defensive and scared of Lily, and also starts hissing back at her. I'm so upset!! Looks at this point that their friendship has broken, and if this doesn't get any better, I'm afraid I need to rehome Lily.This way, it's pure stress for both of them.
Never ever in her entire life I saw Lily acting like this!!
BTW, I tried to rub Lily's scent on Luna, but it didn't help.

Try baby powder on both on everyone, that way they have the same scents. Works for me when my clan is upset with the "vet scent".
