I'm doing research for mother cat aggression towards her 4 mos old kittens. I have had the kittens & mom all spayed/neutered/, rabbies, and micro-chips all at the same time (2 weeks ago). That was a real pleasure.....NOT. They came back from the veterinarians all attacking one another. I had to keep them in crates over night to resolve the aggression. I did research n it said to put vanilla drops on them so they'd recognize each other, as they picked up other animals scents. Did the vanilla drops, and still unsuccessful. I spent the next week separating them all until the veterinarian smell wore off. Finally... Peace...they were all getting along, and mom was back to cleaning n loving her kittens.
WELL, it lasted all but 2 weeks. The mom has become very aggressive towards her 3 kittens, attacking them viciously to the point I have to put her in the entry way or outside...unfortunately, she's so wise she can open the indoor doors. I'm at my ends wit as to what her aggression is from, and how to resolve it... any ideas; I'm open to all recommendations & suggestions! Thank you in advance.
BTW...If you're planning to take multiple cats/kittens to be fixed... I strongly suggest you do some reading up on it first. I do believe they recommended letting them all share a sock prior, bag it, n then take it back out after surgery...to keep the scent familiarity. Perhaps, had I read it first, I might not have had such a horrific experience with their return home!!!
