I was kind of afraid Spotty's food aggression would come back if the
new girls tried to eat out of the regular bowls, but it didn't bother
Spotty at all. Sammy and Spot are pretty much ready to accept the new
arrivals. Tonight they've both pretty much ignored Furby, instead
watching Princess as she explores the living room. I've only heard one
hiss from the three of them, and that was from Princess when she was
exploring behind the couch. Spot followed her and blocked the exit,
but came over to me when I called and let Princess out of the corner.
Oops, just had a couple more hisses. Sammy tried the ol' sniff the
butt move and Princess objected, then Sammy hissed back. I don't think
there will be any problems, as Princess seems willing to avoid the
established cats when they hiss.

Little Bit, as expected, is the hold out. She's doing her best to
pretend there's no new ones around. She leaves a room as soon as
Princess comes into it. She hisses whenever she sees Furby, and Furby
seems to be smart enough to keep her distance. LB was the same way
when Rocky and Spot arrived. For a couple months she just did her best
to stay as far away from the newbies as possible. There's just a
couple exceptions. When LB was sitting in the recliner with me, or on
the bed in her favorite spot, she'd stay put and do her best to drive
off the interloper. Rocky just ignored her and went wherever he
wanted. The only thing he ever did to even acknowledge her hisses was
to lay back his ears as he continued on his way. Spot had to learn to
avoid those two places if LB was there first. For a long time LB
wouldn't even let Spot on the bed, but now a days it's okay as long as
Spot stays on the opposite side.

Right now I'm listening for LB to lay down the law. She's in HER spot
on the bed and Princess just went into the bedroom. I keep peeking
around the corner to watch. LB is in her spot, pretending to sleep but
every time I look she's got one eye open, just waiting to tell anyone
who jumps on the bed that this is one of HER spots and she won't be
moving until she's good and ready.
