I have two cats-mother and daughter The mum has become seriously anti to her now grown daughter. She hardly comes inside anymore and is very anxious and angry when she does. Will this change with time and any suggestions?

I have had that happen with both sats & dogs.
How long have you had the mom? Some cats will not share! |

It could be just as simple as getting the mother fixed (if you haven't already). Or she may be jealous (depending on how close you were with mum, before baby was born).

I am getting them both fixed on 3 may. I have had the mother cat since she was one year old. Now she is 2 and a half. We adore each other, but she occasionally hisses at me now. She has always had a lot of personality and seeing her like this is so hard.

I guess that maybe your vet may be able to help you on this one!
Best of luck.I know this has to be hard.

Neutering both of them may help. But I had a cat that lived for 12 years with another cat, and she never accepted him. They were both neutered. It was just her personality. She literally couldn't stand the sight of him and would hiss at him even if he was across the room. We lived on a dead-end street with woods in our back yard, so I was able to let her out when she wanted. Otherwise we all would have been miserable.

Will this change with time and any suggestions? Seems like the younger one keeps stealing her boyfriends, and the mother is mad at her for disfiguring her body. I think they should go on Jerry Springer and resolve the matter. Or, maybe something else is going on. I would get the older one checked out, and make sure there's nothing medical going on. Ask the vet why she's acting out. |

Bravalady and Totage thank you for your replies. Bella, the mother, still despises Marshmallow, the offspring. Someone told me that kittens have a certain smell which goes away at a certain age. The mother does not 'recognise' her young and gets aggresiv

IDK, We have strays, the litters still hang out here with the mothers, they don't seem to fight, but they are all outdoor cats with plenty of space.

e. As im getting them both fixed, it may tone the mum down. And we will be a happy household again.
Did u know cats can be put on anti depressants? I wonder if there is anti anxiety tabs for cats?

There is just like for people, but much smaller dose. Ask your vet about it.

Yeah, my hunch is that space is the key, and some cats, like some people, just need more of it. I put up with Rascal's obnoxious nature because I got her to be a mouser and she was absolutely outstanding at it. Plus, she was nice enough to humans, but then I think she looked at us as her servants. |

BTW, never give cats any human meds without checking with your vet. They're much more susceptible than dogs to those things. They can't even have aspirin, none at all.

His name was flat face, he disappeared though. He would start fights with Pixy for no reason, but Pixy is a big boy, and he's from the hood (literally) he has many battle scars, but I'm sure he has caused much more damage than he's taken, but he's not aggressive at all. He even likes to visit my cat through the screen. lol it's funny. |
