Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Female | spayed
After one of our indoor cats got outside yesterday for literally a minute, our other cat hisses and growls at him sometimes now. Seems to be scent related, i have wiped doen both cats with unscented baby wipes. We are keeping one cat in our bedroom, switching them from time to time. I got some soothing pheromone dispersers. Anything else we can do? We leave for vacation in two days and probably need to keep them separated when we are gone. Thanks

You are doing perfectly! The pheromone diffusers work great but it will take a few days to regulate. Be sure you have enough diffusers to treat the appropriate square footage of the house. I can't think of anything else to do other than getting the pheromone spray and not spraying it on the cats but just put some on a cloth and wipe a little on them each. That may help speed things along. You did great - hope they will start to get along again soon! Cats are funny creatures!
