I have two cats a 14year old female called Tiger and a 14 week old kitten called Lilly. We had the kitten when she was 8 weeks old. Thanks to this site I think I have handled the introduction between them not too bad. Tiger we had at 14 weeks from the CPL and she had been in isolation as her brother had cat flue. She has never been a lap cat and everything is on her terms only. Lilly was brought up in a home with 14 other cats and a dog she likes to play and will fall asleep anywhere on someones body. They have only been left alone twice and are both still intact when I get back.
My question really wether chasing each other is play. They will go one way Tiger chasing Lilly then the other Lilly chasing Tiger. Tiger will bat Lilly no claws and Lilly falls on the ground on her back. She then gets right back up and the chase is on again. She never cries and never tires of the game, unfortunately Tiger does. She was very much sleep and eat cat and is over weight, Lilly is 2lb Tiger is about 17lb. Usually Tiger will slink away to a spot Lilly hasnt found yet does all this sound normal I love them both to bits.
They occasionally touch noses like a kiss and will eat next to next and use the same litter tray.
Thanks for this site and any encouragement you can give me.
