So, Mimzy McMegaClaws (female siamese mix) got spayed yesterday. Her brother Charles Windsor Goldsmith the Second (male siamese mix) got neutered a week and a half ago. Charles came home and scarfed some food and was ready to play. Mimzy was very kind to him.
NOW, poor Mimzy has an elizabethan collar (cone) on her head and Charles is following her around the house taunting her. As if she doesn't feel ridiculous enough with a cone on her head, her brother has to chase her around sniffing her hiney and growling and hissing. She's being a sweety, but he is being a total butthead. I took the collar off so I could scratch her ears and let her eat some food (watching carefully that she doesn't mess with her stitches) without maneuvering around the collar.... and he STILL growls. She smells like the vet and I know he'll settle down in a few days. It's just.... poor Mimzy! She just curls up in the hallway blinking at him while he growls at her. At least he's not trying to mount!!!

You can put a touch of kitchen vanilla on each cat's nose and under the tail so that they will smell the same to one another. Scented hand lotion will do the same.
The collar is a tough one for a cat so give her your sympathies - time takes care of all things and hopefully she will never have to wear one again.

I agree with the other poster. Keep the kitties apart for a few days so that the odors from the vet's office and medications wear off your female cat.
The cats should be ok after a brief separation. You could give them some treats after they've been re-introduced to one another.
Thanks for being a considerate pet owner, and getting both kitties neutered.

You hit it in one . . . "She smells like the vet".
Plus she is feeling a bit down (I've been 'fixed' myself, I know how she feels) and so like most Brothers Charles is picking on her.
Keep them apart for a couple days, and give her a bit more love.
