I’m not sure…

Tigger, domestic shorthair mother of most of my ferals, hisses at all other cats (except one), especially her kittens. She was not a very confident or competent mother, although she taught them everything necessary. Since being fixed, she couldn\\\’t stand the pressure of being around her kittens and moved to the woods a block away. She comes over here to eat, but will hiss at any cat that heads in her direction, except for Tribble who adopted her and the kittens and serves as guardian angel to them. The \\\’kittens\\\’ are now 12 to 18 months old. She not only hisses at them, she lets the smallest chase her away. She is afraid of them. It is sad to watch her kittens, who really love and miss her, be rejected by her. She never lets any of them get close enough to her for her to recognize their smell. She is also frightened by most people. I think it started out that she did not want any competition, but that is no longer it. Only two of the others hiss, and that is when a certain stray tom comes around, and that is territorial.

We had our male fixed a while ago too. Just a few days ago I found him yowling at another tom and the other tom was backing off but our tom kept on with his fur standing up, his back arched and moving forward menacingly.So yes I think its normal that she still hisses after being done but I not sure about the fact that hadn\\\’t seemed to happen before.But maybe she could have become more territorial. Anyway in the long run having her done was a really good idea. Our tom was afraid of other cats before even our smaller females now they all act like one family (so it does seem to change their behavior) . He even lets the younger ones boss him around. Try introducing your cat to other cats gently like through a window and then once your confident try putting them in one room but be ready to step in if fur starts to fly.

Thank you and did I mention that she had babys a month before she got fixed.
