ok i have two boy cats one is older than the other by 8 months and they are brothers. Ok to my point I went to the doc today bc he was very sick and he had a 105 fever and the doc said my cat has some kind of poisen well they gave him a shot and they gave me antibiotics well once we brought him home he wassnt salivating anymore and his tounge went back in his mouth and he started to move and jump on things and hes more alert, well before he got sick him and his brother were very close and when my cat wasnt feeling good yeserday his brother would lick him and check up on him but , now since i brought him home from the vet the non sick cat is hissy and the sick cat and hes never done that before i dont understand i talked to the vet and he couldnt really explain it to me but i was thinking maybe the way the sick cat smells makes the other cat hiss at hime idk pls someone inlighten me thank you ... i hope this hissing fit will stop

Well you said the doc gave him a shot & antibiotics...sometimes that will change the bodies smell some, and the other cat may just be sensitive to the smell & not like it. I wouldn't worry about it too much though, as once the meds are out of the other cats system, i'm sure they will go back to being fine with each other. Oh, one more thought...Since the one cat is older, if it's not been fixed, it may be started to set it's "alpha status" with the other one....usually if they get fixed, it gets much better.

I think you need a . in there somewhere. It's totally normal for cats to act this way, the one from the vet smells odd and the other one doesn't understand why the sick one disappeared, then came back with this funny smell. It will pass in a day or two.

Well, when your cat was at the vets he probably picked up some very strange smells like other cats. It will pass, just give them some time. If possible...can you give the cat a bath with baby shampoo? That might eas the tention a little.

Animals can sense when another animal is sick. I would just focus on your sick pet, take him to the vet. The other brother will be fine. Make sure the other one isn't sick too. What you should do is treat them for the same thing since they are so close they will spread whatevers goig around.

That's TOTALLY normal. You're right. He smells the other animals on him. Cats have very sensitive smells and the vet has animals in there every day all day. It'll be fine before you know it.

when a cat is sick he dosen,t what to be with any other animal and yes when a cat is sick it loses it sent and the other cat tell if the cat is the same cat so the heathy cat is saying stay a way from me if your sick, but when the sick cat gets fully heathy they well be friends again so give it time .

cats are like human beings the other cat felt jealous from the sick one because you payed more attention to it
