Our older cat did that when we got our kitten spayed even though he's been neutered for years, turns out the anesthesia and other surgical chemicals (like for sterilization) really screw with the cats scent so other family cats freak out because they can't recognize the scent any more even though they look familiar
Should wear off within 48 hours
They have a life changing surgery and when they go back home everyone hates them ๐ฅบ
I had a pair of bonded boys and one needed surgery. It was heartbreaking to see how his brother was so hostile and my boy was so confused by it
Same
Nini also got spayed today. She was just very unhappy and a bit traumatized by the experience. It took 15 minutes just to get Nini out of the pet carrier when we got home.
