My Cat Is Being Mean To My Other Cat

Q: Why has my cat started being mean to my other cat who is sick?

A: This could be down to all sorts of things, but firstly, lets look at cat psychology. There will always be an alpha cat, and this cat will dominate its feline peers. If this cat is sick, then its peer may realise this and take advantage to assert itself in a new feline hierarchy. How this will resolve when the sick alpha cat recovers remains to be seen, as it depends on so many variables including how well the sick cat recovers, and whether or not the newly found dominance of the non alpha cat has been asserted and recognised by other cats in the immediate neighbourhood.

Another answer is that your other cat may be jealous of the attention that your sick cat is getting. Revenge/jealousy is an emotion that is not confined to humans. Also, some cats will simply not like being around sick cats, as it is a sort of preservation instinct. Unfortunately the issue will only be resolved once the sick cat has recovered.
