Hi,
My name is Holly, and i have had my 2 cats, Sox and Toaster, for almost 2 years now, they are 100% indoor cats and they were recently both Spayed (end of march). We would have had them done at the 6 month mark but a flooded basement ate up all our money so the cats had to be put on hold. We had problems with them peeing everywhere while we were coming up with the money to get them fixed, and I had a baby Dec 1st, but our vet said their behaviour was mostly caused by them not being spayed and tomcats teasing them outside the windows ( so not fiar!) and toaster was getting thinner so we thought getting fixed will relieve the stress of not being able to mate and she'd start gaining weight again. After we had them fixed they stopped peeing everywhere and things were back to normal, Toaster started looking healthy again gaining weight and they were great with the baby too.
Like i said things were great until last week, my husband and I were awaken by an extreamly bad fight, it sounded like they were trying to kill each other. we dont know what could have triggered it since it was the middle of the night but we had to physically seperate them via the use of a broom.
We didnt know who started it but Toaster was very afraid, there was pee and poo everywhere, even waist high up the walls.
we placed Sox in a spare room and let Toaster have the house when she felt it was safe to come out. I let them out the following morning and Toaster hid as soon as she heard Sox coming up stairs (sox has a bell toaster does not anymore) Toaster was hiding under a end table and sox literally hunt her down, their eyes met, toaster made a run for it and Sox was after her in another battle that had me reaching for a broom.
nows its been a week, being in a seperate room doesnt seem to bother Sox, Toaster hides when i let her out and when she is brave enough she come out only to start growling when she sees her then its on again.
Please, i really dont want to get rid of sox but i feel she is the aggressor and I really dont know what to do it seems like they will start tolerating each other then poof another fight. Please, if anyone has some advise it would be a god send!
