You mentioned that they have regular vet checkup, does this include a good blood panel? If not, I would suggest you take both cats in and request a senior panel. This, I would think, would include a check of their thyroid levels. Hyperthyroidism is common in older cats and can manifest itself in aggressive behavior. Just a thought/suggestion.

Yes, it does. So far, all thyroid levels have been normal. Thanks for the idea- it's definitely something to research and consider. If this nonsense keeps up, we'll be back at the vet's and I'll ask for updated bloodwork.

If you find it not a medical issue but a behavioral one ask your vet about DAP plug-ins. These dispense natural pheromones which reduce stress. You might also trip some "relief remedy" which can be purchased at a health food store. You can add it to their water, rub it on their ears or gums. Many cat owners swear by its effectiveness. Hope things settle down in your home. Keep us posted.
