Major Kitty Drama

[days_unfolding]

Much kitty drama. Harlee was growling at Zara last night, so I got Harlee to leave my bedroom and closed the door. Harlee was complaining loudly outside the bedroom door today (the bedroom is her "safe place"), so I finally let her in. She saw Zara and ran out. Zara came out and Harlee hissed at Zara. Now Zara is jumpy. I'm going to go out and get a gate for the bedroom door, and try to get Harlee in the bedroom and let Zara have the rest of the house. That way, Harlee will have her "safe place," and Zara will have more room to run around. I hope that then they'll get to know each other through the gate.


Zara slept on my bed last night!

Yeah, I know that you're supposed to keep cats apart as you introduce them, but I didn't have the heart to shut Harlee out of the bedroom, and that's the only place that I could put up a gate. As it turns out, Zara is now in the bedroom, and Harlee has the rest of the house (but Harlee keeps running up hopefully to the bedroom, sees Zara there, and growls).

It probably was a little early to get another cat, but I was really taken with Zara, and was afraid that someone else would adopt her. (Had I known that she has been with the adoption agency for two years, I wouldn't have worried so much. I don't see why others haven't adopted her because she's wonderful!)
