Okay. Sorry for the length of this post, it's a really complicated problem that I am hoping someone can help me with! This problem involves two of our many cats. They are both males, approx. 3-4 years old, not related. They used to be best buddies, always getting along, grooming and sleeping with each other. Four weeks ago, Capone got a big abscess on his head and he got really sick. He was 'okay' for a few days, then we took him to the vets to get antibiotics. When he got back from the vets ,he wouldn't leave my room! When the antibiotics were finished, he still refused to come out of my room. This got really frustrating, because whenever we would try to bring him out he would hiss and scratch and go crazy! It wasn' t until two weeks later we noticed he would get this same reaction whenever one of our other cats, Dal, would try to come into the room.(His ex-buddy). Now, if we locked Dal in the basement, Capone could come down to the main level and sniff around, if we brought him, because he won't venture out by himself. If we let Dal out of the basement, he would immediately puff up and chase Capone back up to my room! And then for the next few hours Capone would be cowering and hissing in my room. So to sum up, it's been four weeks with Capone in my room, only coming out when we lock Dal away. What can we do!?? They used to be such good buddies!!
Dal is reacting so aggressively towards Capone for no reason!
