I am writing as it seems we have been moving into troubled territory over the last week or so and I am now beginning to worry if all will be well or not.
As I mentioned before Oatmeal did not hiss at him or anything over food and she has liked him quite well, until recently it seems.
The problem isn't even that Vagabond likes to play so much but that he is very aggressive with her now and does not back off at all when she tells him to. He has also taken over her litter box and she seems to be going to the restroom only when I let her outside(which is not that much) and far less than usual or I noticed after a long day of me allowing them in space fully together she finally ran into her litter box after I put him in his room for a bit.
She has not come into the main bedroom since Vagabond spent a full night with us and she hides in the loft all day unless I bring her down and then Vagabond pulls her to the ground making her go back up.
I finally put her food up there because she stopped eating out of her own dish as well.
Vagabond is a very spry little guy and climbs and jumps like no other kitten I have had! Which is good for him for sure :) and I think it has propelled him to be a bit more excitable than I am used to as far as kitties go. My kittens of the past have not had this much spring in their step:)
So mostly I am writing to see if you have any help at this point as far as getting him to respect her wishes. She is fine with him except when he gets too rough.
Sorry I don't have any better pictures right now but I only have my phone camera and it doesn't do the best indoor shots:/
Vagabond seems to be happy here though would like to be a bit rougher with Oatmeal than she wants for sure! However, last night they actually played together for a short bit which actually surprised me. It was short lived but they did it a little again this morning.
It has been interesting for sure:) but no horrible fights or anything.
A big surprise is that he races to try to eat Oatmeal's food(he is catching on that his is right there too;) and she will just step back and let him eat it. No hissing or fighting over food at all which I thought and still think is a little odd.
She only seems to get upset with him when he plays too rough or just won't leave her alone.
He does still have his separate room and she hers for when it all gets to be too much.
So, all in all I guess it looks like they might do alright together without too much issue at all.
Thank You again and thank you for checking in. I will send better photos when I get the chance.
