why is my cat acting like this?
I adopted a cat a few years ago. At the time i didnt realise she was pregnant. She had 4 kittens and i kept 2 (one male one female). They were all fine until i got them neutered. Mum was neutered first and she was fine with the other two until i got the female neutered. Since then mum has done nothing but hiss at the female and sometimes attack her but she was fine with the male. Yesterday i got the male neutered and since he has been back mum cat has done nothing but hiss at him too. Why is she doing this?

She will settle down, she is just picking up that their scent has changed. She can probably still smell the anaesthetic on them along with the people within the veterinary clinic that handled her. Give her a little while to settle down. She should settle down once they loose their foreign smell.

I don't know for certain but it may simply be a case that because they have been away from her for a while at the vets she is smelling the difference and that's why she is behaving as she is.
A friend of the family had a situation where the mother cat became violent towards her son when another cat got into the garden and started fighting... she wasn't used to the strange smells and fighting, so turned agaisnt her son cat...
the vet in that instance recommended that they be given room to become accoustom to one another and slowly get over it...
dont rush the whole stuation and see what happens so long as its jsut hissing and moaning they will be back to normal in a few weeks.

hi
thats good that you kept a boy and a girl ; well that happened to my cats a few years ago, the mother kept hissing at the female one. This is natural. It sounds strange but for some reason a mother cat can learn to adapt differently with other feamle cats, even if it is their own kitten. Its not because you got them nuetured, it could also be jealously that the mother cat has ; towards the younger female cat. Its strange how she hissesat them when they got nuetured, but maybe you should give it time because mabye the mother cat wants to have more children, or she is depressed. It sounds wierd, but my cat had to use anti- depression tablets at one point.
