Hi Bob!

Your cat is probably just jealous.  My 81/2 yr. old acts just the opposite
towards his 1 1/2 yr. old companion (both cats).  If the younger one gets
a spanking (rare - they are sooo hard to catch!) or yelling at, the older
one goes to him.  He is very protective.  

I guess I've tried to let him know that bringing in the other one did
not usurp his position as king of the house, so he just took the youngster
under his paw (as it were).  Or if the young one meows really loud (he
got caught in the bathroom once when the shower was turned on, the older
one raced to the door and tried to open it!), he really races to his
side to protect him.  Amazing.

Perhaps just giving your cat a little extra attention for awhile might
do the trick.
