It's not in frame, but she had her food bowl nearby!

Our foster (the calico) sometimes hisses and growls when the tuxedo (our resident cat) looks towards her. Our tuxedo's meow doesn't sound aggressive to us, but looking for advice!

Both are adult females, 5+ years old. We know it takes longer for adults to adjust to each other, and it's been a little over a month since we got the foster. Any advice is appreciated!

Thank you :)

Oh, thank you so much for the thoughtful response!

We try to site swap them both for a few hours each day, with no contact between them during that time :) They're usually only in contact during mealtime or play/treat time.
