We had an interesting night/morning here!
Last night they had another little scuffle. This one was not nearly as worrying. She didn't notice Sinbad come up the stairs again while she was out, and she got herself trapped in the corner. They didn't fight or chase though, just sort of bobbed around hissing at each other. My husband was able to grab Sinbad in one arm and Tempest in the other and keep them apart that way until I came up. So a squabble, but not really, and it was over immediately. She was scared but got over it immediately upon my husband grabbing them. Sinbad naturally thought they were playing. But another indication that she is comfortable enough not to be paying complete attention to him, and that she isn't nearly as terrified of him as she used to be any more.
This morning... be prepared for cuteness.
So our morning routine involves my husband working out while I cook breakfast. Normally Sinbad stays down with him, then towards the end he comes up to wait in the dining room where my husband plays with him while cooling down from his exercise. He recognizes the rounds of beeps that come from various alarms and timers and sounds. He comes upstairs when the tea is ready.
This morning, however, while I was cooking, Sinbad came tearing up the stairs in a complete panic. We have no idea what scared him, he was out of my husband's sight when whatever it was happened.
I went up to look for him to comfort him, and found him outside Tempest's room ...
He was curled up, pressed against the gate, shaking and trembling. Tempest was right up against him on the other side of the gate, making soft mirring sounds, and in full on comforting momma pose. It was the most touching thing ever. I gave them many treats and praises.
