My cat is aggressive after spay. How do I reintroduce them?

Question

My cat has been being very aggressive toward her litter mate after her litter mate's spay. This has been happening since March of this year, and nothing I do to reintroduce them seems to be helping, even cat pheromone diffusers! Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Female | spayed | 10 lbs

This may be difficult to correct but it generally can be done. Continue using the diffuser. Try switching litter boxes, beds, and rubbing each cat with the same towel to try to get them to smell like each other.

The veterinarian can also prescribe medications which can help with aggression. I hope this helps and please feel free to post any additional questions.
