Last year Mama Kitty was in a heavy fog of denial that Peach was indeed a new member of the family and she refused to believe that. She went from smacking to hissing to jeering at Peach every time she walked by in the first few months. Then, something changed. She realized that Peach hadn't gone when she had gotten a new flavor of cat food so she figured that it must have been quite some time that Peach had been there. Mama started to soften.
One day in late June I came out to the couch where I found this scene. Mama even smiled. They weren't touching, but they were being tolerant of each other for the first time.
They even bonded over snuggling with daddy together in July. Or begging for margarita... either way.
Then one day in August we were all on the couch and mama reached out to Peach to just touch her. This melted us.

And now they are outside buddies, too.
I'm so glad they decided to love each other. We coudln't imagine our family any other way than full of animals that we all love and that love each other.
Aw, I'm so glad that they are friends! We may get a small dog someday, and I really hope he or she can be friends with our kitties, too.
ReplyDeleteAww, it's so sweet your little fur munchkins love each other now! I've always worried about how our cats would tolerate a dog, if we were ever to get one. I know it often takes time for them to get used to each other.
ReplyDeleteOh that's too cute!
