Help! Something happened to our cat!
We have two cats: one male approx 3 years old, Pickles, and one female approx 2 years old, Olive. They are definitely from the same mother, possibly from the same father, just a different litter obviously. We got them both very young, Pickles was less than 2 weeks old and Olive was about 6 weeks.
The two have always gotten along from the beginning. They would play fight, sometimes kind of rough but nothing vicious. Pickles usually seemed to come out the winner which was no surprise because he is twice the size of Olive.
About a week ago I heard Pickles meowing at the front door. He sneaks out sometimes but we try to keep them indoors. I let him in and Olive just goes for him. I mean all out screaming and hissing. I had to break them up. She scratched him really bad under his eye. Now we can't have the two of them together or Olive will attack him. Pickles gets scared. He pissed himself twice he was so scared. I don't think he knows why she's attacking.
I have never seen an animal turn on another animal like this. I've done some research and I don't see any information on this behavior. Olive is in heat and we are getting her spayed this week, but she has been in heat before and never had a problem with Pickles, who is neutered.
Anyway, if you read all that I thank you. Any helpful information would be greatly appreciated. We bought a large cage to put Olive in so Pickles can come out and they can see each other but so far they just scream and hiss from a safe distance.
