We adopted 9-year-old Dude three months ago to join our 8 year old female. We had a great intro phase and three months of peace between the two cats, even signs of friendliness. Dude was even showing hesitant signs of wanting to play with Willow, and he was definitely trusting her.
But all of a sudden Willow, our original cat, has started to jump on Dude, causing him to hiss and even growl at her.
Last time we saw this behaviour, I clapped my hands and said "Willow, no" several times. I think she got the message, but now I'm concerned that maybe things are deteriorating. Or does she think this is play? He obviously doesn't, and he was only just sarting to feel fully comfortable around here.
I have Feliway Friends al over the house already. Is there anything else I can do? I was so happy that the cats were getting along, but now I'm worried again.
