My cats have recently started fighting. They are 4 year old brothers and I have had them for 3 1/2 years (adopted from a rescue shelter so they are both fixed). They are strictly indoor cats. Since I have had them they have been great together, playing with each other, sleeping cuddled up, etc... Maybe once or twice a slight hiss, but I can't actually remember a time that it happened. Then a month ago I went away for a couple of days (someone came and checked on them) and when I got back they were hissing at each other as I walked in the door. And since have been hissing, growling, and fighting. I took them to the vet to check for any medical issues (there didn't seem to be any) and now I am not sure what to do or what happened to my loving cats. One is definitely more the aggressor, but both are really nervous around each other and rarely play anymore, even by themselves. They will still sleep on the bed with me, but other than that are now avoiding each other. They will only be in the same room together when I am home. I am really disturbed by this because neither one is acting like himself (they used to come to the door to greet me and beg for attention when I got home in the evening). I have put out a second food dish since they were sharing before. Both of them are eating out of both dishes. I am trying to pet and hold both of them as much as possible so neither
