Rambunctious kitty vs. big sister

Tweet

Our male cat likes to play (and play and play and play and...). His older sister is past the point of wanting to spend every waking moment playing; she prefers to spend time doing other things such as meowditating, getting massages, and watching videos. She has more refined tastes than her little brother (who outweighs her by two pounds), and she is quick to point that out. I think that the pair will be happier once we move into a larger space. When we moved into here, our late girl was still with us; she was a senior whose hobbies included drinking from the faucet (and had me trained to be her servant in that regard), watching the world through the window (aka, Cat TV), and cuddling with toys. After her passing, her younger sister fell into grief--as did I. Neither of us was used to a one-cat household. So, along came Mr. Bounces-Off-Walls. They get along--when he's not up in her face demanding that she play with him or body slamming her in an attempt to get a wrestling match going. Since this is a small space, it is hard for her to avoid him being up in her face. Our next place is set to be larger. So, hopefully, she will stop calling him "Nermal" and looking for shipping supplies while asking me how to spell "Abu Dhabi."
