Now I'm sure that Luna has stopped playing because of Lily!!

Yes, I really think I should try to play with Luna while Lily is sleeping in another room! Of course she will wake up and try to join the game, but maybe it works when I close the door before she's showing up.

I'd feel a bit mean towards Lily, but it was easy to see how much this upsets Luna! when Lily came back yesterday and tried to play with that piece of soil, too, Luna whacked her, growled and walked away. A typical Luna reaction...

It's the same here- Filou will not play if Tigris is playing. You will have to catch each boy when he's in the mood and make sure he has his playing time alone.

I have seen some similar things. Jasmine will play with a paper ball that we throw to her, but if the ball comes close to Peppito, sher will stop. To me, it looks like it is a dominance issue. Sometimes Jasmine is jumping on Peppito's back and they "fight" together because she knows it is play time, and sometimes, just by looking at him, she will stop immediately as if saying "OK, you are the boss, I know". Well, it's only my interpretation.

Since Jasmine is here, Peppito is playing more with her because she is young and stimulating. And in the same time he does not play anymore to his favoritez games which were catching-human-legs and biting-human-arm-to get-attention
But I am sure he is happier now. He is more busy and not alone anymore during long days

Well, looking at the pros and cons, I still think it's better for Luna to have another feline companion around. I'm working all day, and that way, she's not alone. And she has someone to communicate with in her own language, if you know what I mean!

And after all, they're good friends most of the time. But I'm sure there are times when Lily is getting terribly on her nerves.
