Argh!

So I took the girls, Collette and Speckles, to get spayed, etc, today.

They are now growly from discomfort, and they growl and hiss *at each other*! Speckles won't let Collette near the litterbox. I've tried spraying calmative spray, but it doesn't seem to be helping. They both went to the same vet, so they should both have that vet's office smell.

Do you guys think it will blow over before I end up needing to clean up messes? Suggestions? I about tempted to dig out the lavendar essential oil, dilute it, and spray them both!

It's the growly discomfort thing.

My advice? Find/make a temp litterbox for Collette.

The scent isn't the issue, it is territorial issues related to being injured. While the injury was deliberate and necessary, they don't understand that. It's an injury, and millions of years of intelligent design evolution tells them to keep others away.

They will return to their normal selves in due time. Patience, calm, lots of pettin', and make sure the area around the stitches doesn't get infected.

I was trying to be a smart-aleck and put a strikethrough tag around "intelligent design". Didn't work. Oh, well.

Strike through uses 's' in between the sideways arroew,.
