That's Ms. Karmina, plum. She's had a bit of a time adjusting, and Maxxine is so totally Alpha kitty (even over me). They do play chase every once in a while though.
Heh. When Karmina hisses at her, not only does Maxxine totally stare her down, but takes a step or two towards her. Even does the same thing with me when I shout "No!" Looks me straight in the eye, takes a step towards me, sometimes even attacks.
She's awfully sweet and cuddly otherwise. My ultimate leverage is that I can (and will) withhold my affection, temporarily. "I'm not going to pet a bad, bitey kitty!" In response, she'll sometimes even slink off to her closet for a time out. When she emerges, we're friends again. ;)

maine coons are like that. Maddie is the exception.
Sharp eyed Plum, I didn't see Ms. Karmina.
I'd have a hard time adjusting to an uppity newcomer, too. There's only so much room in a lap.
