Stumpy is about 11 months old and is loving having a little sister to play with. Whenever Lily (about 10 weeks old) runs, and she only has that one fast speed, Stumpy chases. At first Stumpy would chase, then stop running when the kitten stopped running.
Now Stumpy tries to wrestle with Lily when they play. Usually it starts off with chasing, then once Stumpy starts wrestling, every time she catches Lily she wants to wrestle. It's hard to say how rough she's wrestling, but once she starts she won't let up, and she keeps chasing and wrestling, chasing and wrestling, chasing and wrestling... Lily keeps getting pestered by Stumpy until we separate them.
Stumpy just wants to play, but I'm worried she's too big for wrestling, and all it's going to do is scare the kitten and make her a fraidy cat.
Do we let them just sort it out on their own, or do we give Stumpy a time out as soon as she gets too rough?
Any suggestions? Thanks in advance
