A couple of days ago, one of my two indoor cats managed to run off, leaving me bummed and his brother very whiny and attention-starved.
Tonight, after about two and a half days, he found his way home, and there was much rejoicing. Apart from being a little damp and hungry, he seemed none the worse for his experience. Same little fella.
Thing is, his brother is very offish around him now, hissing and growling, when they used to be the happiest of playmates. I can't imagine he would have forgotten all about him in less than three days. The only thing I can think of is that the little runaway maybe came home with some weird new smells on him that his brother doesn't like or something. What does anyone else think? Will they go back to being friends? Certainly don't want to see the family broken up here!:confused:
