Rumor is hissing, Moxie is frightened and it's total chaos

I wonder if they are reacting to the vet Smell on Decker, and hopefully Rumor and company will realize that this is thier Friend Decker again.
thtas the worst thing in a multi cat home, to have fights.
miquelito the Little Orange Lion cannot stand tubster Panther and actually chases the much larger Cat around swatting at him, and growling.
Tubster Panther fights back and whomps Miquelito, but my Little Orange Lion is purrsistant, and Tubster Panther just grins and bears it. The Big Fellows too big to hurt
he are praying that Deckers situation improves soon.

Here's a link to a thread by Kirsten; her two girls are VERY close, but there was some major readjustment that took a day or two after one came home from the vet!

I really think it's the smell from being at the vets.....they come back with so many scents and smells that the other's don't know what to make of it so they act out, then poor Decker only gets more stressed. What I do even after routine visits to the vets is to try to keep them separate from each other and then I try to spend time loving whoever just came back so that individual (or two in my case) get my scent back on them. Sometimes I put them in/on a blanket with their scent on it to try to get things back to normal.

Lori, I'm sorry this is happening, I know how stressful it can be. (((HUGS))) Meg

Honestly, they'll get over it. Try to stay calm so they don't pick up any further unnecessary stress from you.

You can also try a little trick to make them smell alike. Place some vanilla extract on each cat.
