Could do with some thoughts/advice about this. We have two rescue cats, both aged around 3 and a half, they've always been together and have been with us for 5 weeks now. We've started to let them out in the day when we're around. Boy cat is very keen to explore, has been going off for anything between 30 mins to an hour before coming back in again. Girl cat is much less confident but has done a bit of exploring, probably for only 10 mins or so at a time before she comes back.
Girl cat has stared to attack boy cat when he comes back in. Not play fighting, proper hissing/jumping on him. She's much smaller and he doesn't seem overly bothered or physically hurt, but obviously its not ideal. She has also on a couple of occasions done a wee on the back doormat while he's been gone.
Do you think she feels threatened? Just generally anxious? We don't think they've had much access to the big outdoors before, and we do have a large garden so maybe its all a bit overwhelming for her?
Not sure how to move forward.
