Just a quick update.
George & Milly are now eating in the kitchen about a metre apart, although they keep glancing at each other.
Milly is spending more time downstairs in the living room rather than the spare room/upstairs landing.
George has had nearly 24 hours a day attention and extra treats from us and isn't sulking much and seems more relax.
My partner says when he woke up both cats were at the foot of the bed asleep (not together). Milly isn't meant to be in the bedroom but my other half forgot to shut the door back from a late bathroom visit and she snuck in.
They both sniff each other and watch each other all the time.
Milly is still batting George occassionally but I'm starting to think (hope) it is playful, as she does the same to the cat toys.
George has been very good, he only growled at her once, when she jumped at him unexpectedly and she backed off.
But apart from sniffing they don't touch each other, they will pass each other 10 cm (4 inches) apart with no problems.
Early days yet. Fingers crossed they'll be friends yet.

This behavior is normal, and I'm sure they'll be over it soon enough. They may need the one big spat to completely sort things out, but once they do that, things should be good. They may not end up being best of friends like Dandy & Guiness and Maya & Inka, and as a matter of fact, I almost think these kitties are special and the ones like mine that co-exist but aren't all lovey dovey are more of the norm. Hopefully with a little more time your two will be like Dandy & Guiness and Maya & Inka....wish mine were.
