A Hissing Cat
 
My pet cat who is 10 years old continues to hiss at my other cat who
is 8. She has done this since we got the younger cat. After 8 years
they don't fight as much anymore but the older cat still hisses. They
are both female. Has anyone had any similar experiences with their
cats and if so is there any way to solve it? Thanks

My 6 year old female hisses at our 1 year old male but he chases her
every chance he gets. I didn't know a cat could hiss and run at the same
time! He hisses at my mother in law every morning when she opens the
bedroom door - wish I could too :)

After 8 years? No, I think the hissing is just auto response. Their ok.
Believe it or not, even cats who appear to not like each other apprecieate
the company.

You should consider putting the older one to sleep, hissing is a sign
of rebellion and agression. If you don't you may wake up to find the
older cat introducing the younger one to illegal drugs and how to hide
syringes in the litterbox, which is very unsanitary and may cause
serious infections.

Yes. Active noise cancellation technology.

Failing that, some cats are just mardy hissing buggers, like one o'
mine indeed. Said cat will hiss if the other cat steals his food, if
he doesn't like my shoes, if the room is at room temperature, and so
forth.

If there's no serious scrapping, I wouldn't worry.

Steve.
