This morning I was awakened at 6:30 by a plaintive meowing at the door. I was in the downstairs bedroom with Cleo, and Marnie had slept upstairs with John. Marn wanted to come in so I opened the door. What ensured was priceless! It was like a slow-motion ballet Marnie finally stopped hissing and the two of them started checking each other out at close range - cautiously but curiously. I must have sat on the floor for half an hour as they circled each other and finally figured out that they had a playmate handy.
They are now upstairs in the living room playing around the chair at the desk and on the couch. They are buddies at last! And all four of us get to sleep together in the master bedroom tonight!!!
