Noah's mommy, Although Amy is not a domineering cat, she used to hiss and let out a loud scrowel, when ever she felt threatened by another furkid. But now that I have had her for about 6 months now, she plays with the others, and does't scrowl like she did when I first brough her home. I am thinking concerning your Olivia, that you should give her time and she will become one of your furkid family. Amy certainly has, even though she still lives aloof from the others.Otis is the dominant male cat mostly because he is the oldest and largest. I did not realize how they manage a heirarchy until I brought him home last month. Until that time Fawn was the (somewhat) dominant male, but he shows little of the maturity that Otis has consistantly demonstrated.
I will say that it took a few weeks for Otis and Tiger to get along. I have noticed that Otis will tear into any cat that hisses at him, or like Tiger's large and expressive eyes, who even stares at him. I do not believe that Tiger was trying to intimidate him, but it is just her stare. Otherwise, if they ignore him, whether they are new to the pride or an old-timer, he doesn't bother them.
