imagine a possibility here, which is typical of a series with a single female character suddenly getting a second.

Lion O already doesn't go to her for the support that he used to. Say he starts leaning on Pumyra the way he used to lean on her for support?

She'd notice that and have a bit of irritation and jealousy start to grow. but she's got willpower, she'd force it down.

bit later, she goes to prepare dinner, oops, Pumyra's already got it done, and flashes her a friendly smile. nothing maliceful, but she's got Panthro saying it's the best food he's had in weeks.... unintentional insult toward a woman's cooking, worst mistake a male can ever make (I've made it believe me it leads to pain most of the time) but she wouldn't blame Panthro, she'd have her eyes focused on who she'd begin to view as "the intruder"

then bit later, at dark, she goes to check on Kit and Kat and to tuck them in, not confirmed but she seems like the motherly type toward the kids, could see her doing this often... hello, Pumyra already there, tucked um in and giving them a bed time story that put her tales to shame.

Cheetara: hssssss!

but, then she goes into the woods, and works on her staff katas, beating the crap out of an imaginary Pumyra.

next morning she wakes up and thinks she's ok now. she can deal with "the intruder".

turns a corner, sees Tygra leaning against a tree, smirking at Pumyra, and flirting.

and she snaps harder than her old staff in the big owl's beak.

heck, I may make that into a fanfiction.

outside that wild speculation and imagination of my part.

you ever put two female cats that don't know each other in close proximity? that NEVER ends well.

Thank you for clarifying. That was what I thought you meant as I told Chique.

That said, I REALLY hope you're wrong. The plot you're describing is incredibly 'stereotypical female' stuff. And if it weren't done VERY carefully could easily become incredibly sexist. Especially since most of the 'competition' you're describing suddenly comes from really traditional feminine things. Cooking, caring for children, taking her men, etc. All of that is stuff that Cheetara has never been shown to particularly care about before. To suddenly have her start a fight because her femininity is threatened would be out of place.

If they needed to build a conflict between the two, they'd be better served centering it on reliability. Cheetara's role in the group is as a bodyguard and a warrior. Those are the things that Pumyra would have to threaten in order for it not to be very strange and basically sexist.
