Cat advice needed (long)

More time.

How do you know Izzie is not trying to play with Matilda? My cat Cassie has this blood curdling cry when she wants to beat up on Tucker. But she really is just playing.

I'm used to Izzy's body language and vocalizations when she "attacks" Henry during play. This is very different and seemingly quite aggressive. Even if it's not intended such, Matilda is reacting to it aggressively herself.

But I agree that more time is needed. I just don't know what baby steps to take during that time. As it stands right now, we take Matilda downstairs and let her sit on the couch with us. If we let her down onto the floor, it takes only a minute or two for an attack to ensue.
