I have a 9-10 week female kitten and yesterday I brought home a new 7 week male kitten. When I play with them with toys the boy gets very protective and growls over the toys. When I try to take it from him he growls at me and won't let go and my girl kitten won't play with the toys with him around. She play fights with him all the time though and always wins as she is a bit bigger. I have seen plenty of dogs growling and tugging over toys but never cats. Is this normal and should I be doing anything to discourage it? Will this lead to aggression?
Also, my female cat usually purrs up a storm all I have to do is talk to her and she'd start purring but she has hardly purred since the new arrival. They seem to be getting along, they play, eat, and sleep together no problems. Is she mad at me for bringing home a new friend? Is there another reason she has stopped purring?
