It's not love yet, but it's a start...

After Daymon interrupted my probably overly worrisome introduction phase by escaping out the bedroom door last night, the kids have been cautiously getting used to each other. Holland will hiss if Daymon gets too close, but Daymon doesn't seem overly bothered by her bossiness.

For the last half hour or so, Daymon has been sleeping on a kitchen chair, and Holland was sacked out in my lap. Daymon's still napping and Holland is eating dinner, so feelings can't be too hurt, right? I guess I was imagining a big flurry of fur and claws, but they are doing really well with each other.

This might have some repercussions though... Daymon testing out Holland's bed:

Holland's reaction - "I don't see you":

Oh my god, I have two cats!!!

Oh, he was SO ready to be out of that room. He'd been trying to get past me for days, I just let my guard down a little too much last night.

We're sleeping peacefully right now, Holland at the top of the condo and Daymon again in Holland's bed. I have to believe she isn't too thrilled that his new favorite place seems to be HER favorite place. He is funny though... whenever she hisses at him he either ignores it or just looks at her like "What?". He doesn't seem to have an aggressive bone in his skinny little body. And Holland is all hiss and no action, so we should be fine. I just hope Holland realizes that he is a good brother and they get to be friends.

OK, now I'm just bored and showing off my babies. It's nap time at my house:

Daymon definitely seems to be feeling at home. I'm pretty much letting them mingle as long as I am here. I didn't even put Daymon "away" when I took a shower this morning, and I didn't hear any hissing, fighting, or anything else while I was in the shower. He will still go into the bedroom when he wants to be alone. He's a troublemaker - he can open drawers, cabinets, and my closet door. He's found a perfect hidey hole for himself in my closet.

Holland was in the bedroom earlier, and I'm not sure she even realized he was in the closet...

I think it's not so much the bed as it is the blanket. Daymon does have a similar bed, but I haven't gotten him a nice plush fleece blanket yet. When I was doing a scent exchange with them I used that blanket of Holland's, and he looooooved it.
