After what we assume was mis-directed aggression about a month ago, we have made some good progress. We kept them separated with one being "loose" at a time. This lasted about 2 weeks, and they were getting along better. So for about 2 weeks, they're sitting in the same window, eating her each other, etc.
We have had one or the other hiss, but this doesn't seem to escalate.
I know this will take some time, but I'm concerned that they still seem to have the need to (for want of a better term) to get away from each other. For example, Aggie spent most of the day with me in the office while Allie slept in the cat tree. At one point, Aggie was on a chair and Allie on top of the file cabinet just a couple feet away with no problems. Either is talkative, etc on their own. I also notice they aren't eating as much.
I assume that this will take some time and that they really need to work it out on their own. They are almost 8 and have been together all their lives.
I aslo realize that I am likely impatient with all this and just need to calm down...but it's disconcerning to see them not "normal"...
