Hello
I posted on the forum once and I appreciated all the advice. As someone who never had cats befoeeits bit hard to know what theyre up to sometimes.
We have two cats who were close and both came pregnant (there is third cat who later also gave birth and she is being sterilized next week but shes not too important). Vet said they are maybe about 1 year now. Both gave birth within week of one another. They raised their kids together and the kids saw each other as proper littermates. However now we gave most away to happy new homes and trusted folks (with tears bur also big relief) and only one stayed behind. Vicky an asocial troublemaker who also got her ear clipped when she hid in car and it started. so she is probably stuck with us as much as it angers me a bit (she keeps going over to the neighbour).
One of the cats Pinky, the larger one started to act weird this week. She started being agressive to her "sister" and when the other comes by she hisses or even chases her a bit. It does NOT look like playfighting. Its just such a 360 from when they came and from when they still had kits around.Today I was weighting kittens of the third cat and she came and hissed at them and even gave warning swipe to one month old kit on the weigh that was just sitting there quietly! (I chased her away). She lets my mom pet her and even plays with her but runs away from me and does not let me pet her at all. However there is also older tomcat that sometimes comes get food here and she does notjing against him. She and her sister are neutered. Phoebe the sister didnt change at all though and even started to play with Vicky in absence of her siblings much more than her "bio" mother anyway. I dont know what to do and its stresful cause now I am worried about how she will act to the new litter (well their mom is larger and older so probably cant do much).
As a reminder keeping them inside is not a solution because we live in rural place and my grandparents and dad are extremely unreasonable people.
