Had you knew this before?

While we've been away our cat has been looking after our daughter - she's moved into our house as a respite from the hospital.
Kit the new Cat seems to have had a personality transplant - she's sleeping on the bed with our daughter, and demanding a fuss at random times in the night; she's also eating her food as soon as it goes down.
For us - she leaves her food for hours, and refuses to engage with us in the bedroom (but sleeps on the floor next to my wife).It's very strange, and quite intriguing!

I need help with my kitties from the wonerful kitty owners here, because I really don't want to have to rehome one of them :)
I have 2 kitties, both indoor cats. Harleyqueen is elderly and a rescue we got 5 years ago. She is sweet, gentle, and just wants a chilled life. The other is Prince, 2 years old, who we got as a kitten as company for Harleyqueen. They bonded immediately and have been really close since, however lately Prince has been attacking her and biting her legs and neck, a lot. Sometimes he's playing and other times he is trying to assert dominance (theyve both been 'done' so its not a sex thing). Harleyqueen hates it and has become quite nervous and always hiding from him.
He is otherwise very loving and so adorable, and we love them both so much, but this is not fair on Harleyqueen :(
Got him a cat wheel to try and burn off some energy, and he loves it, and also make sure we spend a lot of time playing with him eg lazer pointers and feather chasers etc. But he will still attack her and ive had to shut him out the main living area to give Harleyqueen a break sometimes.
Any ideas?? 😭

Why has my cat started to grab my face? Biscuit's 9 years old, suspected Bengal mix (intense, constant need for attention, high energy, stuck to me like velcro) and in the last ~6mths has started reaching for my face with his paw during his (many) cuddles. His cuddles already verge on the obscene with his insatiable need for closeness. This is a new behaviour. Why now, after 9 yrs? -
