My two cats have been coexisting for about 2 years now, but they still don't seem to get along that well.
The younger one sometimes tries to groom the older one, but the older one gets annoyed and reacts badly. Their main interactions usually happen when one of them gets the zoomies, and they end up bumping into each other, which then turns into a fight. 😭
The most progress they've made is being able to lie beside each other, but even then, one of them will eventually get annoyed, and things go downhill from there. Huhu.
Has anyone successfully reintroduced cats who already coexist but aren't really comfortable with each other? Did starting the introduction process over help them become more friendly toward one another?
I'd love to hear your experiences and any tips you might have!!!

Problem/Goal: I’m 27. He’s 21. I think you already know the problem.
Context: I met someone at the gym I’m attending to. He’s been my crush since June, and then this August, for some reason, our glances turned into smiles, which turned into exchanging names. He finally asked for my IG, and then I found out about his age… he’s fucking 21.
Tbf, he’s tall kasi, confident in our conversation, looks quite mature, and has a nice physique. The problem is I’m 27 nga. He jokingly said pa na “pwede na,” and also added, “I thought you were just 23/24. You look really young.” I was honestly so disappointed, but I don’t think he was 🤣 He was unfazed based on his actions.
The thing is, he’s really my type. Am I cooked if I want to explore this connection? Should I stop habang maaga pa?
I can already imagine us being in completely different stages of life, and I’m scared I’ll eventually get insecure because he’s surrounded by younger girls.
Would love some honest advice hahaha
Previous attempts: Reduced the flirting immediately when I found out about the age but that’s it lol

Co-existing but not getting along

I accidentally developed a crush on a 21-year-old
