hello i just made an account bc i'm not sure what else to do. i have a 10 month old cat (kitten?) named Worm and an older 6 yr old cat named Osiris. they've lived together for 8 months now and haven't always got along (lots of worm trying to play w osiris and him not liking it) but recently osiris has started to not want to leave my closet. he hasn't been eating much either. i noticed that when checking on him worm was stalking him so i put up a gate giving worm an area, and osiris his own area.
i had to pick him up and move him to the food dish to try and get him to eat, but the whole time he was watching his surroundings. afterwards he ran to the couch and now refuses to leave it, to the point he peed off the side of it. i've managed to get him a few feet off the couch since but he keeps on running back to it. worm is away from him so i don't know what else to do? i can't have him using the bathroom on the couch, he already has potty issues and goes on the ground if his litter box is on carpet? and even on tile he has no clue how to cover it. it's only recently we've been able to get him to stop going on the ground but now he just went off the couch so i'm scared he'll start up again
as for worm he's always been playful and i used to play with him a lot but recently when you try to play with him w his toys he's not into it, maybe because he's hunting osiris? i don't know at all why they've both changed suddenly. worm hasn't always stalked him either so i super don't know
sorry if this is hard to understand, i'm just not sure what to do. is separating them a good idea ? should i take osiris to the vet? ( i can't exactly afford it rn it would have to be in a week or so ) if anyone has any idea please let me know
