I guess because he smells different. I feel bad for him, he is confused. :-(

.... and there after don't bathe them again. It is completely unnecessary unless they have become artificially fouled. Cats are quite capable of looking after their own cleanliness.

Yeah, he puked in his cat carrier and got it all over himself. I don't bathe them needlessly.

I've had many requests for an update. There has been some progress, finally. Today Toby (unbathed cat) finally went up to Pugsley (bathed cat) and sniffed him without hissing. He then took a nap near him. I think Toby may be close to forgiving Pugsley for the bath thing. However, I do wonder why Toby never gets mad at me when I bathe? Thanks.

because you don't have the same crazy scent glands and don't emit the same crazy scent messages to cats as cats do with other cats

You bathe daily, so the cats are used to it. Or maybe they only care about the scent of other cats?
