Why are my cats suddenly fighting and hissing after a scary incident?

Question

Merry Christmas. I have two cats (sisters) & one got into a bag & got the hand loop caught up around her body. Empty bag except two waterbottles. She got down or fell & ran with one water bottle dragging into my bedroom. I theorize that the second fell on the sister. But after it was all straighten out, the sister attacked viciously her sister (that was caught in the bag). I since kept them separate. She walking fine, no injury i can tell. But she hisses and growls at me & each other. Why? Pet's info: Cat | Domestic Shorthair | Female | spayed | 3 years and 7 months old | 10 lbs

Hello. Obviously, both cats were terrified by this incident. If all has not calmed down, then I would invest in a Feliway diffuser to try & calm your kitties. You can purchase these online or purchase at any pet retailer. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
