An amazing thing happened this morning. I woke up to find three cats
on the bed. Actually, that's no so amazing. The amazing thing is that
it was Little Bit, Sammy, and PRINCESS. The other amazing thing is
that Little Bit and Princess were sleeping on the same side of the
bed, within a couple inches of each other. I swear it was two or three
months before Little Bit allowed Spotty on the same side of the bed.
The other amazing thing was that when Little Bit woke up and noticed
Princess, she didn't get upset. She laid there for a minute, then got
up to check out the level of the kibble bowl.

I realize this doesn't mean they're all ready to accept each other.
But, this integration has been much easier than I could have hoped for
when remembering the hard time I had getting Spotty accepted. Spotty
was a terror, what with her food aggression and trying to chase LB and
Sammy away from food and her kittens. Much of the credit has to go to
Princess, who is a much calmer cat than Spotty was. Also, Sammy and
Spot used to hiss at each through the window screen even before Spotty
came inside, so I imagine that didn't help any.
