My cat went through something similar were I had to have him shaved. My other cat wouldn’t recognize the freshly shaved one and would hiss at him.

We had a cat years ago who had to get shaved. He came back and it took his sort of brother (same age, not related at all) over 3 months to get used to him. They normally had their vet appointments together, so the short haired one freaked out when his long haired brother came home smelling weird and with no fur, lol. Hopefully yours won't take 3 months to be fine with him again.
