Squirrely tail? What kind of cat behavior is this? (see details)?

My kittens were neutered yesterday. The male has a little lampshade type collar on to prevent him from licking. It's soft and blue and we got through the night pretty well with him. This morning I noticed the female was starting to lick her 2 stitches, so I went back and got her a little blue collar too and put it on her. Pretty soon after that, they squared off with squirrely tails, hackles up and arched backs looking mean. It happened twice, until I separated them, and she easily slipped her collar off (she's small and dainty.) The kittens are brother and sister and they never had problems with each other before (5 and 1/2 months old). now, they're fine now that her collar is off. What do you think was going through their minds? What did it mean?

Ha ha thats funny, my cats do that alot , one time one of my cats was laying on top of a stuffed draft stopper you know the ones you put in front of the door?it looks like a cat, anyway my other cat saw this for the first time and it scared the crap out of her and she puffed up her tail and was growling because it looked unrecognizeable to her but as soon as the other cat woke up and looked at her she recognized it was him and was ok. All it sounds like is your cat didnt recognize the others new appearance and got freaked out lol I see it all of the time with 4 cats. they even get wierded out sometimes by a sock or whatever sticking out from under the couch and puff up thier tails.I wouldnt worry too much if I were you all it meant was the cats got scared because they didnt recognize eachother lol
