Seems to be very obvious now who's going to be the alpha cat here!
This happened about an hour ago: Luna was sitting on her beloved scratching post, chewing her cat grass (it's placed on one of the higher platforms). When Lily saw her eating, she immediately showed huge interest and wanted the same. She walked over to the scratching post, and already when she jumped onto one of the lower platforms, Luna started hissing and growling. When Lily tried to enter "her" platform, Luna pawed at her twice. Baby Lily fell, but came back and eventually started eating the grass, too, as if nothing has happened. AND WHAT DID LUNA DO???? She still growled a bit and stared at Lily, but then went down to a lower platform where she was still sitting for a while before she jumped down and left the room!
Even though I know they have to work things out, it was heartbreaking for me to see Luna giving up one of her favorite places, and I felt so bad for her! I know how much she loves her scratching post; everytime we get visitors she walks over there and scratches to show them it's hers!
BTW, as soon as Luna has left the room, Lily lost her interest in the cat grass.
Another thing: When they're sitting face to face and growl and stare at each other, it's always Luna who turns around and walks away...
