I have three cats. I adopted two first, a female one year old and a male kitten about 8 weeks. Since they grew up together they had a harmony. Not best friends, my girl is high strung. But they get along and play together here and there. About a year later I adopted another male, who was about 2. Of course this was initially on a trial basis to see how they would get along. But things went so well I decided to adopt the third cat. The two males became fast friends and did friendly wrestling and would sit together. The female kept to herself more but they didn't seem to bother her. For about 6 months this was the way it was. Then things changed. But it took 6-8 months to shift. Now the latter adopted male is chasing my female relentlessly and she just hides and is stressed. And he doesn't seem as interested in playing with the original adopted male. Is it common for the dynamic to shift like that?
