3657.0. "This house ain't big enough for the both of us..." by IOSG::THOMPSONR (Nostalgia isn't what it used to be) Thu May 31 1990 06:31

    Recently I have noticed that Henri and Sophie, once bosom pals and
    devoted sisters, have started fighting.  Not playing, but serious moody
    fighting which is frequently accompanied by hissing and snarling.
    
    It really is Henri who is the main cause of this, as she continues to
    wack Sophie on the head every time she comes near to lick her or to
    play.  It's as if Sophie gets on Henri's nerves.
    
    It's such a pity to see Henri react like this to poor old Soph, who is
    such a playfull cat and can't understand why Henri has suddenly become
    so unfriendly towards her (and neither can we).  She's still her usual 
    affectionate self with me and Mark.
    
    Is this just a phase she's going through?  They used to love playing
    with each other, licking each other etc.  If it is a phase I hope it
    won't last....  Any other feliners out there seen the same problem?

3657.1Earthquakes? Weather?XNOGOV::LISAThu May 31 1990 06:357
    Your prob sounds identical to note 3652! What is going on over here?
    Perhaps they felt the earthquake coming?!?!?!?

3657.2WOOPS!IOSG::THOMPSONRNostalgia isn't what it used to beThu May 31 1990 07:2010
    Sorry, didn't know that note 3652 was about this very subject!  That
    settles it, it must be something in the air here in the UK! Maybe it's
    a strain of Mad Cat disease or something.
    
    Meanwhile any more suggestions for either note?  This problem is really 
    getting me down :-(

    P.S. By the way Lisa, when are you going to get cat #2?

    We will be getting a friend for Pookie on June 11th - I CAN'T WAIT!!!!!
    I will introduce him "officially" when he arrives, I don't want to
    tempt fate! We have to wait until he is 12 weeks old and has had his
    shots. Also we haven't finished the run yet!
    
    BTW Pookie caught a mole at the W/E!! I managed to save it and
    take it to safety. Watch out for moles - THEY BITE!
    
    Lisa plus Pookie.

    Take Henri to the vet to be checked to see if he is ill.  Maybe he has a
    toothache or something.
    
3657.6At last...IOSG::THOMPSONRNostalgia isn't what it used to beMon Jun 04 1990 11:5216
    Well I saw Henri and Sophie PLAY together for the first time in AGES
    yesterday.  Nevertheless, they're due for a visit to the vets for the 
    Felv injections, so I'll ask about it there.  They still fight, but
    it's nice to know that they will STILl play with one another on rare
    occasions.
    
    Looks like it might just be a character clash now that they have
    established their personalities.
    
    Yes, Henri and Sophie have both been spayed (they are sisters -- Henri
    = Henri(etta))
    
    Looking forward to hearing about Pookie's new playmate....

    I would take Karen's advice and Henri checked out.  If there is nothing
    wrong with him, then don't worry about it too much.  My Tabitha and
    Silver are best of buddies, but every once in a while Tabitha has had
    enough of silver and tells her about it.  They can get kind of moody
    julst like people.  But do have him checked out just in case.
