There was one week of hissing. It was especially pitiful when Benchley was saying “Mrow? Prrrroww?” and the new kitten was hissing in reply.
Then there was one week of passing each other in the hallway indifferently. Maybe a sniff or two, but no friendliness.
And now there is this:
And I am SO GLAD! Because part of the reason we GOT the new kitten is that Benchley wanted so badly to cuddle and play with another cat but Mouse was having none of it, and the vet said sometimes a kitten would help with that. And then we got a kitten and it seemed like just another major rejection for poor Benchley. But now! Oh, there is happiness throughout the land!
Awww! That’s sweet. It was the same way when my ex and I had our dogs in the same house. Hatred and then lots of love. :)
OMG, that is the cutest thing I’ve ever seen. I love that Benchley looks so happy!
Kitty love makes me all swiggy on the inside. The cuteness, I die!
Aww this post totally warms my heart! So glad you have kitty peace!
You’re mocking me with your kitten again, aren’t you.
Dammit Swistle I have KITTEN ENVY.
ZOMG CUTE!!
Does the kitten have a name yet?
Aw, shucks. So damn adorable! So, so, so purrrrfect. Ha, couldn’t resist. ;)
Also, the question is, does Teh Kitten have a NAME yet?
Also, totally unrelated, will you please go to Blogher with me next year? Pah-lease? (Something my personality test said is that I am so extroverted that I make introverts feel at ease and slightly extroverted themselves…)
Awww…SO cute! After two years I finally caught my dog and cat sleeping together…it was a long two years!
There is nothing better than kitties curled up sleeping together. Mine have been together for 9 years and rarely sleep touching one another. Makes me sad.
Cayt- STILL NO NAME! I finally ordered pet tags that just say “Thistle Family cat” with our address and phone number, to take the pressure off.
Marie Green- No and maybe! But San Diego! Ack!
I would leave a better comment but I just died from the cute.
That is so cute! You totally made my day with those adorable pictures.
That is wonderful! Love the kitty cuddles. It’s great when things work out, isn’t it?
YES. This is the cutest thing EVER. Yay!
Awwwww. So Cute! Nothing else really to say.
Oh GOODNESS. So cute!
Purr-fection!!
Oh my goodness! So awesome! And, cute!
Those are some serious happy-making photos. So cute!
Oh, I’m so glad for Benchly and Noname!! (and you all of course!) so sweet!
That second picture slays me!
So cute! I would trade my left eye for two kitties to snuggle with about now.
Is it wrong that I want to scoop them both into a bowl with chocolate sauce and caramel and then EAT THEM RIGHT UP? Just adorable.
SO CUTE!
Benchley is a lov-ah cat :)
How adorable.
Very Cute! I’m so glad everything seems to be working out for you cat-wise.
How freaking cute are they!?! I think you should call her Pigeon then you could call her Pig for short. Oh or Osprey. Ack! I’m dying, if she were mine I would name her Ish Kabibble…..and this is why my husband has nightmares about me naming the children.
Oh those pictures melt me! Such sweet kitties. I wish my husband wasn’t allergic to cats.
Aww, so sweet! I wish my (adult) kitties would do that…at least they keep each other entertained.
I AM A CAT PERSON!! I want this.
Ahhh-choo. I am an allergic cat person. :(
Awww…kitty snuggles
thanks for sharing, so very sweet!
Awwww, they are LOVAHs!! My cats were the same at first; we had Sebastian about a year before we got Oswald. I thought for sure that Sabbie would kill the kitten, but after about a week, they adjusted and are in lovey dovey love…(they are 10 and 9 now respectively)
Awww. Adorable! They’re a lesson for the world. These pictures just made my day.
Sooner or later, ya gotta snorgle. :)
I picture Mouse (hope she’s doing alright, btw) off to the side, going “Ugh, get a room you two!”
I am super-jealous. I’ve never had cats snuggle together like that. The closest I get is when two of my cats will lie down head-to-head, and take turns grooming each other. However, this inevitably leads to bites, swats, and general mayhem, so while it’s entertaining, it’s not nearly as cute as full-on snuggling!
Thanks for sharing the pics–you made my day!
I HAVE ALWAYS WANTED SNUGGLY CATS! You are so lucky!
Squeeeeee!!! Cuddling kitties are the best!
Squeeeeee!!! Cuddling kitties are the best!
Those photos sum up the best parts about having cats. So cute.
Oh I love them and want to kiss their heads
