The good thing is she smacked him back.
My feeling is if she HADN'T swatted him back that this was going to be a very dull relationship!

I didn't do special treats tonight (tuna or anything), but had another go with regular play and cat treats. Tonight he didn't have a submissive tail. After some play, pets and a treat, he went for her in the box - not quite a pounce, but a curious go. He pawed her again (but not to the face this time I don't think), she hissed - couldn't quite see if she pawed him back. Later, he jumped up on the coffee table and just stretched out, all comfortable, and looked at her. He went in later - another poke, with Patches hissing back. Then he just flopped down outside of her box, and just looked at her. My husband thinks he is just trying to figure it out - as she is the first thing that smacks him back if he smacks it.
Later on, he was being a bit vocal, going upstairs to be by her door. So I think it's going ok. No growls, no arched back, no spitting, etc. Just some smacks and hisses from Patches.
Hopefully they'll figure out who is in charge soon.I thought Patches was in charge when he was so docile yesterday but I guess he is still figuring it out.
You've pretty much summed it all up in that one sentence!!Originally Posted by killerapple
