As I've mentioned before, I own two kittens; Parrot and Shinobi, both around 4-5 months old. Recently, I had a friend of mine move in with me as a roommate and with her came a 5 year old female cat. So far, introductions seem to be going well enough. Shinobi (the other female) keeps her distance from Precious (the new one) but she's getting better, and Parrot did the same for a while but I've started to notice that he's following Precious around all over the place now, and displaying some weird behavior. For example, he'll sit down (she still growls if either of them get too close) and then start rolling around on the floor in front of her. Aside from that, he just tends to choose a nearby perch and watch her. His behavior with Shinobi is still normal.
I don't think he's old enough to be interested in Precious in a sexual way just yet (though I'm pretty sure she'd swat him if he tried anyway ), so I'm not sure if this is a way of showing his submission to her (he was very much the dominant cat before Precious arrived) or what.
Some additional information about Precious, if it helps any:
She's used to animals, lived with another cat prior to this.
She has been spayed.
I have no idea if she was the dominant one in her other home.
