I took Mooch to the Vet today to check her ears and she also got her due booster.
I half expected Noodles to be hissing and what not toward Mooch when we got home and I was sure right. I knew they were both due, but not knowing how much this visit would cost, I only scheduled Mooch. I wish I'd done both like I normally do.
I don't have any pure vanilla so I used vanilla extract on the girls but it's not helped much yet. (But they smell wonderful!) I also tried to rub them down with the towels they lay one. One went to the vet with Mooch and I, the other Noodles was laying on here.
Mooch tolerated the ride very well and has been as playful as a kitten since getting home. Noodles is still sulking and hissing when Mooch comes near. Mostly Mooch has looked at her like "What's your problem!?!"
I know this kind of behavior is common after things like this, so I was wondering, any idea how long it usually lasts? Or any other ideas for helping calm them? I'm not exactly sure where to find the pure vanilla, would Walmart or a regular grocery store have it? Or do I need to try a whole foods store? I don't think DH would want me to spend the money on anything too expensive unless it's really necessary. Noodles has always been a jumpy and territorial cat, so having something to help calm her around might not be bad anyway.
