So Prince has always, and I mean always been hyperactive. He'll be running around like crazy, attacking my feet at night while I'm in bed and overall running about. Yes he's mellowed out a little since he's getting closer to a year, but still he's fairly active.
Now, bringing Nikita home, something's changed. I've not seen what I've affectionally nicknamed "hyper kitty" at all in the last week or two. He's not gone after my feet at night, not running all over the place, but is now laying around like Garfield. Hell, in the last couple of days, he's stopped pouncing and chasing Nikita around. (sometimes he looks like he's tensing when he walks by, stares at her a bit and then continues walking wherever he was going, no aggression). Of course he seems a whole lot calmer, not like a gradual mellowing out but just a total change from hyper, bouncing off walls to calm relaxed cat.
Maybe Nikita's rubbing off on him in the sense that she's the calm, relaxed, chill lap cat. I don't know, but she's not been hiding under the bed at all that I know of over the last couple days, she's been out and about throughout the apartment and he hasn't chased her under the bed or even waited outside the bed while watching her.
Did I miss something or is it normal? I'm not hugely concerned because I like his calmness, but at the same time, I'm hoping he's not depressed or something (though he doesn't show many signs of that, still eating and playing when I bring out the toys)
