Cat Hostile to Friend After Neuter. Why?

That's normal, and it probably *is* smell from the vet's office. It
doesn't wear off in a day. :-) You might help things along by wiping
the newly-denadded guy down with a damp washcloth.

I don't know why no one else mentioned this, because it seems obvious
to me.

I recall as a child being forced to bathe twice a week. And that was
plenty to keep me smelling sweet. But when puberty hit, man did I
stink! Daily showers were not enough.

Now, what you've done to your cat is to remove the major source of
testosterone. Why is it suprising that he smells different?

Not surprising at all, and you have a good point. But I don't think
the hormones subside all at once... And even so, Froggy's own siblings
saw no difference in him, nor did my other two cats, just his good
friend Squidly. That's the surprising part, the reaction of just one
cat.

We had some improvement this morning, BTW. The two had a very brief
game of Tag. First, Squidly tore through the room with Froggy after him,
then Froggy streaked back the other way with Squidly hot on his heels.
It ended right there, but it's more than I've seen yet. :-)

And on a different note, we found Froggy in bed with us last night.
He's still a little wild, so this is a milestone. :-)

for signs of activity: Black bear scat is smaller and contains berries;
grizzly scat has little bells in it and smells like pepper.

Hey nutfish!

Just wanted to say that "Squidly" is a great name for a cat.
Makes me think of the old cartoon Dastardly and Muttley. I think I'd like to
have a cat named Dastardly and a dog named Muttley. Or vice versa!
