George was neutered on thursday and everything went well. He's doing fine and has been eating and using the litter box. We're keeping him separated from his sister, whom he usually bunks with, to minimize his activity for the first few days after surgery. We've brought them together for short visits, though, and Addie has been hissing at him. Also, making that whimpery yowling noise in her throat once she gets going. We had a similar experience when Sammy and Lola got together after Lola was spayed. We figure it's just that, what with metabolising all that anaesthetic and pain medication, George's smell is probably a little off. I'm sure it'll pass in a few days, but in the meantime, they're each living alone in a bedroom (neither can be out with Sam, Lola and Max, as the dog hasn't fully accepted them and is still far too interested. Short visits are okay but he still wants to nose them and sometimes tries to mouth them, so anything where our full attention can't be on Max and the kittens is a definite NO GO.).
This means lonely kittens, particularly Addie who is very vocal even under normal circumstances. Now, she basically sits in there and meows for long periods when we aren't in there. We've been spending lots of time with them, but I can't be in there all the time. Any suggestions on what to do to help her relax?? Or to help her realize that funny smelling guy is just her brother, George?
