Hey everyone, I've posted here a rew times about our old cat Hazel. She's currently separated from the other cats, again.
I've tried reintroducing them and everyone will be fine through the door, then with limited contact, and then we let her out and everything is good for a few days. Maybe a small hiss here and there but nothing else. Then it's almost like Hazel forgets who the other cats are, she slowly becomes more aggressive, hissing and growling, not letting the others near her, or on the couch, etc.
It escalated last night to her chasing one of our other cats and trapping him in a corner to attack him. She hasn't hurt him or even hit him with her claws but she's currently separated again and it just doesn't seem fair to her. I don't know what to do. She's always ok for a few days and then gets aggressive again. She was at the vet less than a month ago and all her bloodwork and everything came back fine. Her thyroid is a little off but still in the good range.
Could she have dementia? Could it just be because she lived in a colony for so long and is aggressive towards others because of it? I don't know what to do but I don't want to give up on her.
