We foster cats for the local shelter and have picked up a new pair today - tabby girl and tabby and white boy. There's some uncertainty as to whether they're littermates or mother and son - he is a little bigger than her. Both are 2/3 years old.
We've done the usual settling-in routine but as they're pottering around exploring, she occasionally growls at him, and we've had one hiss. This happens roughly every 40 mins.
Though we've had dozens and dozens of cats in all sorts of combinations, we've never dealt with this particular behaviour before. Should we just ignore it and presume they'll work it out? They seemed perfectly ok to be in a carrying box together earlier today.
