I rescued a black 2 year old from the shelter about 2 months ago. My other cat is 13 and super sweet, but has never lived with another cat. She wasn't super pleased about the new arrangement, but definitely took it better than I expected. She mostly hangs out in the bedroom and ignores the new cat.
However, the new cat, who is so sweet to me and others, keeps running at my other cat, like they do when they run up on a toy. The new one has never growled or hissed at my other one, she (the new) just watches her (the original) then sneaks up on her and pounces. Then, my other cat (the original) hisses and freaks out.
This keeps happening and I don't know what to do. The new one doesn't ever seem to be malicious about it, maybe just wants to play? But it keeps stressing my original cat out, and keeps her holed up in the bedroom. Should I just let it be and they will eventually adjust or what?
Any help is appreciated.
