I have 2 cats. I got the 2nd within 2 months of getting the first, and I got both of them at 8 weeks, so he is only a couple months younger than the first. The older cat seemed to torture him at first, laying on top of him and biting him, but after a day or so, they were inseparable. They would play together, sleep all nestled and cuddled, eat together...
They're both 3 years old now, and it definitely seems that their attitudes towards each other have changed. I feel like the older cat (who's also bigger) overshadows the cat. I try to give them both equal attention and love because I don't favor one over the other. But every time I try to love on Sebastian (the smaller one) or play with him Amadeus runs in and takes the stage. Sebastian doesn't really fight for it either. He'll just walk away and lay down. Sometimes I get to love on Sebastian, and he's very affectionate, but it's at inappropriate times, such as in the middle of the night or right as I am stepping out of the shower. At night, Amadeus sleeps right beside my head, and Sebastian at my feet. It used to be the other way around, and Sebastian would lay half on my chest with my arm wrapped around him and half on the bed.
I just don't want him to feel neglected or left out.
