We thought the girls (Cali & Smokey) were finally starting to get along a
little better. They've been sleeping together on the window perch. But it's
also the only open window, now that's it's starting to cool off. So it's
likely that Cali's mellowing has more to do with her attraction to the big
out, than her acceptance of Smokey.

This was pretty much confirmed today. Cali was laying on the window perch
and we were talking to her. Smokey bounded up on top of the cat house
(beside the window perch) to see what she was missing. So we started talking
to both of them and Smokey was purring away. The next thing you know Cali
has Smokey's head pinned to the mat and she's trying to gnaw on her ear. It
all happened so fast poor Smoke had no clue what had happened to her. Cali's
usual reaction is to hiss/growl, ocaissonnaly smack Smokey and then walk
away.  No one got hurt, so it was all rather amusing.
