Thread: Lili's fate is sealed... :-)

thank you! yes, I'll do that - Neevie has taken to sleeping in her carrier, and there is a blankie in there, so I'll take that to bring Lili home. Another spot she likes is a pile of table cloth I washed, ironed and folded and left in the office in true Alekto-fashion - result they are now all hairy and ready to wash again - they'll go to France before I leave with instructions to wrap Lili in them whenever possible... not sure if Mother-Dear will bother with "that nonesense" but I'll try... ;-)

Dot is is more than possible, I do sense a bit of diva'ness in her - she is (now) being such a sweetie when it is just her and her Humanz! I think she can get used to Lili just as well. She was extremely crabby with John yesterday, when he came for a visit, but as soon as he sat down she was calm...er - for some reason, it's people walking - or their feet? - that seem to spook her. So I don't know what that's about, but I'm hoping Lili from the top of her 3-cherries-height will not spook her that much...

I saw on youtube a few videos explaining how best to introduce cats - some are rather complex and lengthy process - some just dump them in the same room, which I am not sure if that's what I'll do.
In any case, I am thinking to harness Neevie while Lili the Puss explores? What do you think?
Any other tips welcome!!

I am strangely calm about it, mind you. If it doesn't work out, I'll go to the vet's and ask him to help me rehome Lili. I am giving it an 80% chance of success, 19% chance of mild failure, 1% chance of catastrophic failure (that's when Neevie gets confused and decides Lili is a new "crabby toy" and spanks her senseless when our back is turned)
