So 4 months ago I adopted a kitten (now 9 months old), and I also already had a young cat for a while before that (now 15 months old), and while the older cat made it clear that she was in charge from the start, they never had any issues eating side by side and always did just that for the first few months, until maybe a month ago...suddenly the younger cat (Flash) started refusing to eat at the same time as the older cat (Foxy) most of the time now. He will hold back and watch Foxy from a distance until she is finished and then go over and eat. I usually watch them eat and I never saw anything to indicate that Foxy was intimidating Flash in any way or scaring him from eating with her, so what could be the cause for this behavior suddenly?? Most of the time they get along great as seen below
