All seems to be well this morning, relatively speaking.
Some minimal growling and hissing contests, but for the most part, all three are keeping their "dance spaces" free of the others'.
Penny is a sweetie, but she may wind up being the dominant female: Ginger is accepting her much more easily that Ferris is. Ginger even came and cuddled up close next to me last night on my bed - so I know she can't be too angry with me.
Ferris, on the other hand, feels threatened and is skittish and acting pretty feral. I haven't seen him be this skittish in a lot of months, so as of tonight we go back to using the flower essences in his food.
Penny is a total doll, seems pretty much at ease, considering Ferris' reaction to her, and loves to roll in the window seat while I rub her belly and give her scritches.
I'm going in rounds: spending a little time with one, moving on to another, seeking out the third, back to the first one, etc. I think another vanilla treatment this afternoon with continue to help things along.
There have been no fights, no bloodshed, and all three are eating and drinking normally, and using the litterboxes. No signs of inappropriate marking anywhere.
Penny did take a bite, chew and swallow about 1/2 inch of pink mylar from the tail of a puff-ball toy, so I immediately removed the rest of the mylar and will keep an eye on her poops for it. Silly girl - that's not the way to get positive attention, eating non-food items.
I actually got a decent night's sleep last night. Penny still roams about calling and calling, but I think she's figuring out that there will be no answers from her boys; they are still at home in NC. I can sense a little sadness and confusion in her, but otherwise she seems ok, not overly stressed out.
I'll post a thread in fur pics in a couple of hours, as my brain is working better today after getting some real sleep.
