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

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).

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".

Oh I think they will clam in time.. You might just keep them seperated for now.. I am very sure that Lily has got the scent of Luna'a Illness.. This could be making her unsettled.. Just wait a bit longer..

momtomany, I'll try that with the baby powder. Just don't have it here at hand right now...

lvpets2002, I hope they'll calm down!! I was wondering if Luna still has strange scent from the infusion she got to fill her bladder. Also, I fear Lily may feel a bit neglected. You know, like two siblings, when one is ill and is getting a lot of extra care and attention, and you just take it for granted that the other one is doing just fine... Need to spend some extra time with Lily now!

I hope this extra stress won't make Luna's UTIs getting worse!

I am sure your on the right track.. Just watch them & if needed try to seperate for a bit of time.. I think they will settle..

If you have no baby powder, try a drop of vanilla extract.

My mom's cats - Shiney used to hiss at Pyka for several days!

My cats have, so far, been too darn healthy for me to find out.....knock on wood.
