kilikini - 10 Jan 2006 19:45 GMT Miss Chloe and Miss Pua have finally called a truce! I was sitting in bed, reading, this morning, with Miss Chloe sitting next to me. Since Miss Pua can't be anywhere but in the same room with me, of COURSE she jumped on the bed. There was some crouching going on between both, tails flicking, BIG eyes, a little growling, but Miss Pua took the initiative and went ahead and licked Chloe's ears, they touched noses, Pua licked Chloe's tail...........
Ever since then, they can actually be in the same room together. This has never happened without a hiss! 6 months it's taken!
It's awesome. I had to share. Finally. Peace.

He mainly wants to play, but Stinky wants none of it. Dante does pester Stinky, but it's not in an aggressive way, it's more of a frolicky way. But Dante is much bigger now, and when he jumps around, the --well-- the effect is bigger. ;)

Reminds me of Rhett. Difference is that Shamrock and Rhett get along great. Though, sometimes Rhett just plays too rough, even for Shamrock, and Shamrock has had enough of him. The funny part is that Rhett still walks up to Bonnie and Shamrock expecting to get his face licked. Most of the time he gets his wish, but sometimes he's ignored. Then he'll just lean his whole big body into whichever one's attention he's trying to get, and just literally knock them over. ;)

You should have seen him today. We have this narrow (about 30cm / 1 ft wide) set of drawers, onto which both kitties jump when they want to look out the back door window. Nico was up on it, looking at Laku meatloafing on the floor. He moved to the corner, moved his head up and down to estimate the distance and *flung* himself about one metre / a yard and bits outwards, landing right behind Laku, said DH Janne, who'd seen it all. I actually thought he'd landed on top of Laku, but I didn't see the actual landing. Laku sure gave him an earful as well as bapped him around the ears for that stunt. :D

Since Miss Pua [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > >It's awesome. I had to share. Finally. Peace. Congrats, hope this is the beginning of a life-long friendship. I noticed when I brought Spot into the mix here that with some cats it takes a LOT longer than others. Sammy and Spot spent a couple weeks hissing at each other, but after a month they got along fairly well, and now they often play and groom each other. With LB, though, it's taking much longer, and she still mostly avoids Spot. A week or two back I saw her grooming Spot, but so far that was a one time occurance, and she's back to avoiding Spot.
Purrs that your two follow Sammy and Spot's example rather than LB's.

[quoted text clipped - 15 lines] > hoping! > -- I'd hope too, Britta. I can't imagine having only 1 cat, but integrating Miss Pua's been quite a task! Chloe is Tyrone's biological sister and as such, she feels like she's co-top cat. (Tyrone is obviously the alpha male.) Miss Pua has a rather dominant personality, so she and Chloe were sparring for the next position in line this entire time. I guess they finally figured it out. I don't know who's the alpha female, yet, because this is so new, but I'm assuming Chloe is. But then again, as I say this, Chloe's on the floor below Pua who is on the recliner........so????? Still, even them being *this* close to each other is amazing.

The funny thing is-- I can't be sure, unless I get a kitty cam-- but I have a strong suspicion that they mostly leave each other alone when I'm out of the house, and they do most of the scrapping for my benefit.

I'mp pretty sure how it is with the tension between Spot and LB, too. Pretty much all their tiffs come when I first come in. Spotty gets really excited and starts zooming around, she gets too close to LB and Lb hisses and runs, then the chase is on. I think Spotty thinks of it as a game like she plays with Sammy. Unfortunately, LB doesn't like to play tag, so it turns into a hissy fight. Luckily, it has never degenerated into an actual fight, just hiss and swats but I've never seen anyone actually hit anyone. It probably helps that Sammy usually investigates the hissing, and she does like to play tag. So most of Spot and LB's hissy fights turn into chase games between Sammy and Spot.

I know what you mean. When I first got Miranda, and then when I got Caliban, I always worried the first days when I had to leave the new cat with the established ones. That's why I brought them home when I had a few days off work, so I could stay home for the most part and monitor their behaviour. But they all integrated so beautifully, with a lot of hissing and growling but hardly any physical contact (Nikki started slapping Miranda after a couple of weeks, just to keep her in check when she got too bouncy). Of course, they were both kittens when they first entered the household, and kittens are easier to integrate.
