Hello all!

I'm writing on behalf of my best friend.

In december she bought a 3 month old Ragdoll, Lyra. She settled into her flat perfectly, and is an absolute joy.

Last week, she was contacted by Lyra's breeder, who was struggling to sell the last kitten in her litter, as they were trying to move house he wanted someone to buy him right away. She agreed and on Sunday, picked up the new arrival, Lyra's brother, Albie.

She disregarded all the advice saying to keep them apart, and as such Albie has never had space to explore, as Lyra hassles him. It's been 2 days and they are quiet violent towards each other. They show no affection and though sometimes it seems like they're playing, they do hiss at each other and I've seen Lyra bite him.

Lyra has always been so completely cuddly and loveable with humans, and she is still very much the same, but with the other cat, i am worried she just won't take to him. Does anyone have an advice? I'm scared to leave them in a room together.
