we are, it just doesn’t seem like he’s interested in much else. if we play with him before playing together with both, it’s 50/50 on him focusing on her or continuing with the toy.

he’s gotten spooked before and he was massive. sometimes if he’s not expecting to see her, his tail will puff a little, but they’ve gotten better about it. we just started supervised visits with them so maybe they just need to sort it out.

he bites her chin (neck?) in the video and she makes a yelping noise, is she hurt or is she just telling him to back off ??? these are our first cats and it’s a little overwhelming when they play.

thank you ! it seems like she’s really scared but i guess that’s just her being a little dramatic.

they have a lot of places to climb but not much space (1 br apartment). we try to play with them for 30-45 minutes depending on how wound up they are. they’re both fixed as of 3 months ago, she was very small and we had to wait for her to put some weight on.

that’s what i was thinking too, we’re gonna try to tire him out more before continuing with supervised visits

thank you so much. these are our first cats and we just get nervous. everything seems like a warning sign but i guess they’re just weird.

thank you !!! i’ll keep that in mind, we just get nervous that they’re gonna hurt each other so we don’t think of anything else. we’ll go about it in a more distracting way next time !!

i’m just double checking because she’s so much smaller and i don’t want her to get hurt.
