Some of you know I have had Persi since he was a litter mate and that I had always had adopted cats before him, in fact, seven other female cats from shelters or that just showed up on my porch. I was determined that my last cat would be a male and a purebred. This lasted until Persi was 9 months old, which at time our kids in California found a cat that needed to be saved. That 2 1/2 year old female cat was shipped to us two weeks ago. I have been on this behavior forum many times since, showing my concern and depression that the two were wanting to kill each other. The last posting I made here was of them in the same room but staring hate daggers at each other. I posted that photo here and promised I would never put another photo on until they were cuddling in each other's arms. I actually had extreme doubts that this was ever going to happen at all. But all of a sudden things changed, a lot due to encouragement I received here and advice on the matter. They finally started coming to bed with us at night but with Persi over on my side and Alley on my wife's side. And then the miracle happened. Here are three photos from the last three nights taken on our bed to show you the progression of the behavior of these two lovebird cats:

Two nights ago:
And last night, the ultimate cuddle - the one I never thought was going to happen
This ends the story of Persi and Alley, who are now best buddies and both laying in here by my chair at this moment. Together. Well, this does not end the story but does end my crying and frustations over the worry about adopting another cat. Thank you, TheCatSite!
