Background: We have a new roommate.

With said roommate came a cat, Lestadt. He's a white and gray spotted DSH. (Biiig amber/gold eyes!) She brought him in to show me and he's definitely a good match for Hennessy, very laid back, very calm, very sweet. He likes people and comes when he's called. Weighs about 7-8 lbs. (About 7-8 lbs less than Hennessy.)

When she showed him to me she set him on a pillow and then took him upstairs to keep them separate a while. (the upstairs closes off from downstairs).

When Hennessy came in he sniffed the pillow thoroughly, his ears went a little back and his eyes dilated and he panted a little. No growling, no hissing.

Question: That's an okay reaction to start with, right? They're both so laid back I really hope they'll be friends. I'm not much worried about Hennessy, he's got all his claws and Lestadt doesn't... and Lestadt's so... delicate.

Well, the growling and hissing may happen when Hennessy actually sees Lestadt.

I expect there will be some eventually...

He's been here by himself for quite a while now.
