Hi all - looking for some advice and hopefully peace of mind.
My 4 year old cat is the sweetest girl, she's always been a bit on the smaller side. We introduced a 3 month old kitten to the home around 2 months ago, and things have been mostly okay. She tolerates him, but he clearly has much more energy than she does. He pounces on her and tries to play with her when she's trying to sleep or relax. She will swat/hiss at him, and these tousles happen a few times per day. She doesn't isolate herself, and she seems to be eating/behaving normally as far as I can tell. But she is visibly smaller, has lost about a pound on her already small frame, and her fur looks much less healthy and fluffy. Are these just growing pains? She's due to see a vet in 2 weeks but I'm worried I should be doing something different in the meantime.
