Minding Mittens by K. Colitti's avatar

On hissing after ER visits - I’ve had this too with one of my cats. When either of the other two would visit the vet, on their return, she wouldn’t recognize them, as cats are so driven by smell and now the one who went to the vet smelled differently and perhaps moved differently too if she had to have anesthesia. There was hissing and all kinds of drama and stress and we had to do a slow re-introduction and wait for the cat who visited the vet to ‘air out’ and get back to her normal scent.

There are unscented and scented pet wipes that could help make a returning cat smell “neutral” when returning home.
