I am four and a half weeks into my male year old cat and my ten week old female kitten's introduction. They are separated at night and when I am away. Every time they get together, after a separation, (mostly after the night separation) she runs to him and sometimes purrs. He grabs her by the neck and pins her down. Sometimes, she continues to purr or he may nip too hard and she meows. She then scoots away or I have to get on to him with words. They then will spend a lot of time chasing each other. They will also play where he turns over on his back and she attacks him. Once in a while, he will do the pin down and nip or will chase her and pin down and nip. This often has no explanation as to why he turns like this or he seems to be done playing. It's like he has times he loves having a friend and other times he wants to beat up on her. On another note, he seems to be perfectly fine with her eating his food or drinking his water. He is also fine sharing a litter box. By the way, this only happens sometimes because they have their own boxes and bowls.
What I can't figure out is why he starts the morning like this or gets ugly, but plays other times. How should I interpret this?
