Lily (4 months, 4lbs, female) and Mr.Fancy (5.25months, 7lbs, male) have been getting along very well. They seem very comfortable in each others company and will groom and sleep together. I haven't had to break up any fights and they seem to enjoying playing with each other. However I have started to notice that Lily is getting dominant and pestering Mr.Fancy sometimes.
Examples
1) She will sometimes pounce and tackle him while he is walking by or simply laying down.
2) She will sometimes tackle him when he is trying to get attention by me.
3) She will sometimes follow him to the restroom, allow him to go, let him bury his uhh business, then tackle him when he comes out of the litter box.
He doesn't seem scared of her or really fazed. He will simply walk a few feet away and lay down. He also eats twice more than her, although he will allow her to eat from the same bowl. He acts like a normal kitty and both haven't had any litter box issues. They are both great at the litter box.
I know he can stand up for himself if he really wanted to, because if there is one thing he really is possessive over of, its chicken treats. He will literally growl at Lily if she tries to steal his treats and she backs away.
Is Lily going through a phase? Should I be worried? Is there anything I should do? Will this get worse?
