Can't blame Tia for not welcoming someone new to "her" abode. My senior cat let every "new" cat and dog that arrived after him know that they were not welcome. Fortunately, they all accepted that he was in charge and peace reigned for several years until he passed away. Then there was some jostling for position and now the second set of cats and dog have reached that vulnerable age, the youngster (7) is annoying everyone. I got him a cat tree which no one else tries to climb. He looks down on all of us. When he is bored, he searches out the aloof female and stares at her or pounces on her. My vet says he is trying to cross the boundary that she set up because "she's the queen" and that she expects I will find them curled up together one day. (He's already crossed everyone else's boundary.) For the moment, she hisses at him and stalks away. The vet says female cats are all divas and more likely not to get along than males. She only wants to be with me.
