I have a 3year old neutered male, Oliver, and we recently got a female kitten, Penny. At first we thought he wanted to kill her, but turned out he got used to her and they play together. He plays a bit rough, holding her down and biting her, but sometimes he is also tender, licking her or letting her chase him and vice versa. He lets her eat from his food, but she is sometimes getting on his nerves so most of the time he hits and bites her (not injuring her though). Now we are leaving for a few days, so Penny is in a cattery. Oliver is back to his old self, calm, purring at us, which had stopped while Penny was here (he only played rough with her, he didn't care about us or cuddled up with me as he used to). The question is, is he happier with penny around or not? Does he prefer to have a play-mate or does he prefer to be calm alone with "mummy" (me), that he really loves?
