Two cats on a rug.

Today marks one month since I brought Neptune home.

Neptune and Rosa are actually getting along quite well now. This morning we even had a nose touch. The first that I'm aware of. Neptune backed off and gave a little hiss, but Rosa didn't respond in kind. And neither of them ran off. I'm calling it a win. That and the fact I wasn't woken up at 4 am by Neptune causing mischief.

So Neptune has been with me almost a month now. Things are going pretty well. Rosa is very tolerant of her bullshit. Part of which is due to the fact she doesn't know how to cat.

She's hisses and Rosa just looks at her like really kid? And keeps on doing whatever she was doing.

I've started letting Neptune run around the house most of the time now, although the basement is still off limits for now. Looking forward to that milestone because I'm looking forward to litter boxes back in the basement.

The one thing I could without is Neptune being such a morning cat. 4:30 or slightly before every morning she causes a rucess. I'm so tired. That's an hour earlier than I get up for work.

This is Neptune. Isn't she adorable!

I had today off so she had a nice explore this morning and since then her door has been open with a baby gate and a sheet blocking it off so her and Rosa can see each other and smell each other in a controlled manor.

There was a couple hisses and growls first thing, and from a distance, since then they've pretty much been ignoring or pretending to ignore each other. Which isn't bad.

I'll leave the door closed when I'm at work and probably over night too for the time being. I have Thursday off and may try a no barrier introduction then. I would like to let Neptune have free roam but I also don't want any injured cats. Or cats cornered in the basement refusing to come out.

Neptune will get to come out of her room later, probably before I got bed today.

I'm doing my best little kitties I hope you understand.

So I brought home a lovely 2 and a half-year-old siamese mix named Neptune (!) on Monday. Someone my mother knows was fostering her, and after hearing about her and seeing a photo I decided that I couldn't let her go to someone else.

It's been a fun couple of days working on getting her and Rosa used to each other. Neptune is set up in the spare room and since Thursday I've been having her come out while Rosa is shut either in her room or my room. Today is the first day there has been no hissing at the door, well other than at 4 am. They both got quick glimpses of each other and didn't react other than Neptune heading back to her room. Rosa actually just meowed at me because she was feeling left out.

This morning I was starting to feel a little discouraged about the whole thing, but now it feels like things are going in the right direction.

I picked up a baby gate with a door today to set up in the doorway to Neptune's room so tomorrow we can see how some face time will go. Fingers crossed for me, I know Neptune would love it if she got to spend more time out and about.
