i have two cats that are just over a year old one is male (stimpy)and the other is female (wren). the male is neutered and they are brother and sister. lately every couple of weeks wren will attack stimpy out of nowhere and no one can get her to stop. she will hiss and growl at everyone who walks by and leaves him with scratches all over and he hides under the couch for hours. i don't want to get rid of her but i don't know what's wrong with her or how to get her to stop. any suggestions or have you been through this?

You should fix the female as well! All cats that isn't, always treat castrated cats bad!

this happend to my cats but the boy attacks the girl.
try to keep them away from eachother unless your right next to them. keep an eye on them ALL THE TIME. and try to stay around the boy cat a lot just so if wren comes up and attacks him you can say "NO WREN" or push her away. If this does not work take her to the vet or some where to get advice.
my advice if this does not work: this may be mean but it will work
SPRAY HER WITH WATER

Maybe your cat just wants to be alone? Meybe you should just stop to pet her once in there.... But i realy dont under stand whats wrong Is she going to have a baby? Has she been by a different male cat? She could be haveing a baby or she got heart? If i would you i would take your cat to the vet just in case

Is the female fixed? If not then you need to have her fixed. Maybe that will solve the problem. Give the vets office a call and see if you can pick one of their brains about what is going on.

Is Wren altered? If not, she needs to be. Her hormones are going crazy.
You may also need to separate them; some cats simply will not share their territory (even with littermates). Give Wren her own litter box and food dish, and put her in a separate room if you have to.

the male is the only one fixed? Call your Vet and get the female fixed, maybe her hormone levels are too high to handle being around the male.

Is she sick by chance, has she seen a vet? Sometimes cat act out when sick, they almost always hide when sick, so if this behavior is unusual for her, I would take her to the vet and find out if everything is ok. Good luck to you.

Do you have to consult a vet or a specialist in animal behavior. They are the only ones to have the knowledge to help you.

You need to give more details such as is she spayed? If not, that probably is the problem, she's frustrated in heat.
If she is spayed, then you must bring this to the attention of your vet.
