So I've been away for the past few weeks, babysitting the kitties at my parent's house. I've been gradually introducing my cats to my Mom's cats over the past months, so that when I brought mine over for the "big sleepover" everyone would be relatively well adjusted.
I have to say, I am just thrilled about how it all worked out. Other than the occasional hiss/growl, they got on fantastically. I was fully prepared to separate them in different rooms indefinitely (through the whole time if necessary) but it proved to be completely unnecessary.
My only complaint: having four cats in around meant that I couldn't spend as much time with each one as normal, so everyone (especially my Pekoe and my Mom's Frances) got sooo needy that I couldn't sit down without being mobbed. And first thing in the morning, (say, 4:00) both Fran and Pekoe would try to smother me in bed begging for attention...
