i have a 3 year old cat who i got from a shelter when she was just a tiny kitten. and i recently adopted a 6 month old cat from a friend. both of them are females. they usually don't get along at all. there has been chasing, growling, hissing, apparently some fighting, since i found a big scratch on my older cat's nose the other day. i've had this new cat for about 2 and a half weeks. i am able to leave them alone in the house mostly. but a big problem i've noticed is that little kitty doesn't want to let my older one get near the food bowls. and that's whether they are placed next to each other or on either end of the house. she will run back and forth trying to defend both bowls. but today they seem to be doing better, or at least i think. i would like some help interpreting this behavior i just noticed. the have been laying on the couch near each other for a while now and have both started laying belly up, with their heads upside down and staring at each other. there is no growling or anything but their tails are twitching some. and they keep reaching out at each other. i took a picture. i would like to think this was some bonding time between them and that laying like that mean they felt comfortable around each other. am i reading this wrong or are we finally making some progress? any tips on getting them to be more friendly with each other?
