Cosmo's lost his mojo

[The Duchess]

 

normal service has now been resumed

Not sure what to do to keep other cat away - I've heard hissing/screeching on recent forays and my boy's got a few scabs where he's obviously been dabbed - he is a complete wuss but hate that anxious/scaredy cat look he gets

Since then, his sister Jessie has been acting very weird - stalking him, growling and hissing, chasing him - generally making him feel unwelcome.  On Saturday night he didn't sleep next to me on the bed 'cos the little madam had chased him off

So, I was wondering what would cause such a change in behaviour?  Does Cosmo smell different? 

Yes, thats pretty much it I'd say, she can smell the other cat on him and thinks you've sneakily introduced a new cat without telling her 

Glad things are back to normal ish now though - you could maybe do the scent exchange thing, collect her scent using a soft cloth around her head (cheek and mouth areas) then stroke cloth onto Cosmo.

my ginger whinger is allowed out when we're in so, on Saturday the back door is opened and out he trots.  Minutes later he comes flying back in and I notice there's a new black and white cat in the garden who has obviously chased him inside.  Anyway, I'm off out doing Saturday morning stuff whilst OH stays home.  When I get back, the back door is closed and Cosmo's indoors.  Apparently, OH had to separate the two cats - there was loud yelping and my boy was on his back, pinned down and getting the worse of it.  (He has a couple of scabs on his ears where he's been bitten/scratched).

Answers on a postcard please.

PS - they seem to be back to "normal"ish now.
