I have 2 cats-One is approx. 11 years of age Male-the other is appox. 5
years of age--female--both neutered-both living under the same roof for 5
years. Recently, the male is hissing and spitting and the female is
growling--and then they fight. It stopped for about 2 weeks and then
instantly it has happened again. They have both been very friendly to
eachother until this event occured--as if they lost scent of eachothe. Has
anyone experienced this--and have any thoughts.

Try using Feliway. It is a synthetic facial hormone that causes cats
to be more content. It works most of the time.
You might also want to have a vet give them checkups. The cause could
be organic.
Also, has anything changed in the environment?

There environment has not changed--they are strictly indoor cats. I have
heard of Feliway, I might give it a try. I'm not sure but I ran out of
Iams moist food (in the pouch) and they have had dry and canned food and
their behavior was normal. I just started giving them the moist pouched
food again and their behavior has acted up again--is there a correlation
between their food and their behavior???

You are the person best able to decide this about the food. I'd try
the Feliway if I were you. It works for me. The cheapest Feliway is at
http://www.jefferspet.com/ssc/ and enter Feliway in the search
area.

I agree with the vet suggestion, i would believe one of the two cats is
probably sick (internal maybe) and feels vulnerable and even left out
because of illness, the other cat is probably is just curious and even
may want to help the first one !.
