Cat rejecting sister after vet trip

[VanillaImpulse]

I have two 1 year old girls and one recently had to go to the vet for the day (£700 bill for teeth removal but that's another story!).

Since she's returned, her sister has totally rejected her. She hisses at her whenever she goes near her. About a week has gone by now so I thought the smell would've disappeared but she's still just as angry towards her. Maybe it did happen before but I didn't notice.

Has this happened to anyone else and do they get over it?

It's because she smells different

We have two sisters and one of them broke her pelvis. She had to be in a cage for 6 weeks and her sister completely avoided her the whole time, she wouldn't even go in the same room. Vet said it was very normal, but to expect that the healthcare one wouldn't eat at the same place for a while. She was right, but eventually they got back to normal - clearly there's not a lot of empathy between cats!

I'd be quite concerned that they hadn't sorted out by now in all honesty - day or so is very normal but a week is quite a long time for them to still be unsure imo.

Could you get some Pet Remedy or Feliway?
