My Cat Got Spayed, NOW SHE ATTACKS EVERYTHING MOVING, What Should I Do?

Question

She's two, she's always been finicky but friendly. Now that she's been spayed, she's attacks the dog she grew up with including me. My family has other pets. I'm concerned for them as well as my fam. She growls and hisses and was just spayed less then a week ago. Will this go away or will she remain mean for ever?

Answer 1

My cat did the exact same thing!!!  She growled and hissed at her sister cat and at our dog.  I was so concerned!!!   But after her surgery healed all up she popped right back to her old self!!  Boy was I glad.

I thought they had changed her personality! lol  

So hang in there, she will get better.   Just be extra tender with her and give her some space and time.  Maybe keep the others away from her as much as possible. Im sure she doesnt want to be bothered right now. She doesnt understand what is going on with her body or why she hurts etc.  

You did the right thing spaying her!  Pat yourself on the back. You saved the lives of oodles of cats.  

Answer 2

This is all probably just temporary.  All cats act differently for a while after they get spayed/neutered.  My friends cat hid under the couch and only came out to eat.  My cat just slept and just played a couple of times.  And your cat is getting angry and hissing.  (Probably mad at you for making her go through that :P) but it will wear off.  If it doesn't wear off in a couple of weeks I would get a vet check up.

Answer 3

It's probably just a temporary hormonal imbalance from the spay.  Why on earth did you wait till your cat was two years old to get her spayed?????  Contact your vet.

Answer 4

this always happens they get a little dioriented due to the anesthesia

Answer 5

While your cat had the equivalent of a hysterectomy, they did not remove her hormones. That takes a while to dissipate. She may be feeling sore

from the surgery, or mistrustful now because of what she perceives as an ordeal. Keep her away from things that stress her, and watch her carefully. If she shows any additional signs of stress, like soreness, lack

of appetite, or hiding in corners, call your vet and ask what he/she thinks. Are you going to take her back in to have her stitches removed? That would certainly be a good time to discuss this behavior with the vet.

Good luck to you and kitty. Give her extra love.

Answer 6

Wait it out and just stay way from it
