My Two Cats Started Fighting?

I've had my two cats for 7 years. They have always gotten along amazingly well - so much so that they would curl up and sleep together. They're both boys.

One of them had to spend a few days at the vet recently. When he came back, the two of them started fighting. Hissing, chasing, howling, hitting, biting, hair pulling.

I've tried keeping them completely separated with separate food, water and litter, bringing them out together for short amounts of time. That didn't work. Invariably, the one who went the the vet starts hissing at the other one which causes the other one to chase the one who went to the vet under the bed or behind the sofa or whatever.

It's been a month. I believe the situation has only gotten worse. Felaway (or however it's spelled) isn't doing anything and it's bee plugged in for over a week.

What do I do? How do I restore this situation to the way it used to be? For the record, they've both been given a clean bill of health from the vet.

It's normal. I have 4 cats and after one of them comes home from the vet the others start hissing at fighting. They smell the other animals from the vet on him. Cats really don't like that. The smell can last a really long time. Give that cat a bath, to wash away the smell. Buy a cat shampoo at a pet supply store. When giving him a bath use warm water, especially now that it's cold, cats catches colds easily, and dry them completely. If that doesn't work then get a spray bottle and squirt the cat that hisses. It's a form of discipline so they know what not to do.

Take them the two outdoors of their cages/ puppy distributors. Face the distributors in direction of one yet another. After a couple of minutes, deliver the cages close on your domicile door. Face the distributors in direction of one yet another returned and open the doorways, so that they'd the two come out from the cages and re-enter the domicile at the same time. be sure the two cats enter the domicile concurrently. do no longer enable one in in the previous the different is waiting. this would help. stable luck.
