    $(this).children('.FL-pest-indv').stop(true, true).animate({ "height": "toggle" ,   "opacity" : "toggle"},600);
        }); 
        });

$(".FL-pest-cat").live('click',
function() {
    $(".FL-pest-indv").not(this).hide(600);
    $(this).children('.FL-pest-indv').stop(true, true).animate({ "height": "toggle" ,   "opacity" : "toggle"},600);

Answer 1

Had the answer in my function all along.

$(function() {
$(".FL-pest-indv").css({ display: 'none' });
$(".FL-pest-cat").live('click',
function() {
    $(".FL-pest-indv").not($(this).children('.FL-pest-indv')).hide(600);
    $(this).children('.FL-pest-indv').stop(true, true).animate({ "height": "toggle" ,   "opacity" : "toggle"},600);
    });
});
