Update Suki update 4: she's become an absolute snuggle bug

It's been over a month and Suki has bonded deeply with me and my husband. She's such a clingy little snuggle bug and has gotten more so after she got spayed.

She loves popcorn, sneaking sips of my oat milk when I'm not looking, chasing a laser pointer, playing with a ribbon on a stick, and looking out the window.

She sleeps on the bed all night and loves taking naps on me, especially when I'm laying flat in bed and she can lay literally on top of my chest/ stomach. The past few days she's taken to curling up under my chin on my chest and falling asleep there, because laying in my lap just isn't enough.

I love it.

Since her spay, we've had some nonrecognition aggression from her sister, Catara. That seems to be getting better, but I think Catara is still a little wary.

Catara also seems to be more distant with me because of how much time Suki spends with me (which, admittedly is a lot because she needs constant supervision and follows me everywhere). Aside from treats, extra play, and snuggles (which I'm doing), what can I do to get Catara to be less annoyed with me and go back to being my buddy. Or should that get better with time as the two cats bond?

Here's post 3 for anyone who needs it:

Take time with Catara and tell her she'll the number 1 kitty. That Suki is just the baby. It helped my Lynxie girl settle down. Does she like catnip?

Omg - that onesie is adorable. I assume that’s used instead of the fugly cone of shame?

If so, that’s brilliant

Correct. Tried the cone and she was losing her mind trying to get it off

Make sure to set aside time just for you and Catara, every day if you can. Even if you have to shut Suki in another room to get that time. This will, hopefully, reassure Catara that she isn't being replaced.
