I've had Rua now since July, she's about 20 months now. Had Jess 2 years, she's 4 now. Both spayed.
When Rua first came we had a lot of fights, but they settled and Jess has been the one in charge (unlike Beastie visits!)
However, the past few days Rua has really been pushing her luck with Jess and last night we had a fight for the first time in quite a while. Rua has also got very whiny too. Only recent changes have been cod liver oil being added to meals for their coats and Rua has been getting Serene-Um Calm Xtra tablets to help with separation anxiety.

Should I still be expecting fights like this to be going on? I know Rua is at a very awkward teenage age at the moment but I'm finding her increasingly difficult to handle.
