    My older cat does this to the younger one

    She sits on the stairs and refuses to let him go up until he starts crying.

      My cats battle to sit next to me. The older one always wins, but recently the younger one has stepped up and started asserting herself. I’m proud of her.

        Same has happened here. While I am proud of the younger, more skittish one, it’s also an indication of the old matriarch diminishing. I’ll never be ready to lose her.
