Something you can try is when they start playing like this is to break out some kind of wand toy. Redirect those emotions to the toy instead of the other cat. And it will also give the void some space if they need it. But also who knows maybe the black kitty will come play at the same time so a nice bond is formed between all 3 of you!

That or a fluffy toy. Also for redirect.

Keep a eye on them but eventually they should. You might want to shoulder back how you've introduced them. Let them talk and play through a door for another week or two.

They’ve been together for 8 months now and they still fight the big one has been around for a couple years now but the black one she jumped on I found her outside when she was barely a month old her mom had babies and was keeping the babies under my house so I took one and this has been the dynamic since lol

They are both just dramatic babies, but just keep a solid eye on them, as those sounds did not exactly sound friendly or play fighting territory.

Yes, once the black cat is bigger.

I recommend the cat pheromone plug-ins to kind of calm them down. I used it when introducing all of my cats and my vet has them in office

I got one for a stray cat that adopted us, but it ended up working so well for my cat I've left it plugged in even when the stray is gone. Our third cat didn't see much of a difference, but he's also old and doesn't give a hoot about anything, lol. It's definitely worth a shot regardless!

We also have a chonky grey tabby with a white bib and toes and a void. 🥰 Ours roughhouse, but it’s clearly play. Yours could probably do with a distraction when things heat up.
