Shaved Cat Behavior

I recently had my cat shaved, due to his long hair getting out of
control, and since bringing him home, my other 2 cats act like they've
never seen him before! They are hissing and growling at him like he's a
brandnew cat to the house. What happened?? Will the 2 cats realize that
it's the same cat, only he looks different?? Or will they always
dislike him from now on??

He just smells weird to them. Mine always act like that toward to the
one who's just been to vet. They'll figure it out in a few hours.
