I have Isabel (almost 3) and Sarah (7 months). I have just noticed lately that when Sarah bounces onto Isabel (when Sarah roudy not all the time) Isabel will give her what I call "the look". Or if Isabel jumps to the window sill and Sarah jumps directly behind her she will hiss.
Is Isabel teaching Sarah that its time to grow out of kitten play? That's how it looks to me. Sarah has grown quite a lot and is now about 3/4 of the height/length of Isabel. (Sarah is a VERY skinny cat so she isn't anywhere near as bulky). I was thinking Isabel is doing the motherly thing and teaching her how to behave. Isabel has been an excellent mommy to Sarah since the very first minute I brought Sarah home.
Also, Isabel's way of correcting Sarah isn't the same as a fight as they do almost everything together all the time.
