short version....
adopted 1 yo female lindy about 2 months ago after 3 yo female abbey was left alone following the death of her brother. kitties did not get along but there was no real agression...the occasional hiss/swat but mostly they ignored each other.
two nights ago, abbey got spooked by something she saw thru the window out on the deck and started screaming. since then, she has been quite ugly, hissing, spitting, growling, screaming at lindy. i had to keep them separated last night (lindy sleeps with me) because abbey was out of control last night. as long as lindy is not in her sight, abbey is fine. the minute she shows up, she becomes "wild."
i am panicking that lindy will have to be sent away so abbey will calm down again. please help me solve this problem with your wisdom.
