Hello everyone. Looking for advice
I have an almost 3 yo male and have recently adopted a 4mo female. I did the slow introduction, kept them separated for almost a week and they seem fine 75% of the time. They will eat together and sit together at the window, but my male often chases her and pins her down and bites her. He will even do this when she is sleeping! I cant imagine it is a hard bite because she always comes back for more. There is never any hissing or growling or anything that makes them look aggressive. For example, he will be laying on the floor and she will walk by him to try and rub on him and he will start chasing her then if he gets to her, she will flip onto her back and be submissive and he will take small bites or nips at her then she will meow and run away and then come back. He just seems to be a bully. Its starting to stress me out because I don't know what to do as these are my first cats and I'm lost.
Its been about 3 weeks since intro, and they are both fixed
