Why does my older cat hiss at my kitten after she stayed overnight at the vets?

Your older cat may be hissing at the kitten because she smells different after being at the vet, which can trigger territorial behaviors. Your older cat may need time to re-establish familiarity with the kitten's scent and readjust to her presence in the home. Give them gradual, supervised reintroduction to help them rebuild their relationship.

Or if not you can try to put some of the food on the kitten's lip and when it licks it's lip and tastes the food it will come back for more.
