Aww, they are beautiful!! I hope they settle in well with the rest of the group.

The day after I arrived home and they were all snuggled in their crate, I cracked my bedroom door open a little so my cats could go in and out to let them know they were there. That night, Bad A$$ Buddy peed on my futon. He was not happy being closed out of my bedroom.

After that, the only one I allow in there is Murphy. At 15, all she wants to do is either sleep on my bed, under it, or on the night stand covered in an afghan. The girls don't really mind her at all.

I'm going to give it about a week and then open the crate and let them roam around my room (it's not very big), with the windows open (safety screens in place) so they can at least have some fresh air. I'll leave the crate up with the litterbox in it so they at least have a safe haven.

Once I've done that for a while, I'm going to get my baby gate back from my friend and get another and stack them on top of each other so they can see and smell each other without any blood shed. After that, well, I'll deal with that when it happens.

Lvpets2002,

I had a very dear friend, sort of an adoptive mom, who lived in East Dorset, VT. She was 96 years old and looked as though she was 70. Anyway, she was feeding her two cats, fell and hit her head. She always asked me what would happen to her two cats, who also happened to be my cat RB Mollie Rose's sister and mother, if something should happen to her.

I got a call from her daughter Bonnie with the bad news that Clare had passed away. Because my car is on it's last wheels, Bonnie agreed to rent me one so I'd be able to stay a few days with the cats to get acquainted and then bring them back to my house. I didn't realize how much I missed the Wilson House. The serenity, peacefulness, wonderful friends, great food. All that seemed a little moot without Clare's smile and warm personality.

But I'm happy to say that me staying in Clare's room with the cats while I was up there did alot of good. I have a feeling that pretty soon I'll be able to let them roam my bedroom before I throw them under the bus (the bus being MY 5 cats).

They're two gorgeous ladies, thanks for sharing!

Wow - you can sure tell they are related to your Mollie Rose!

They still look a little spooked - but they are beautiful.

Prayers for a happy integration.

They sure do look great for their age and hopefully they'll become more comfortable very soon.
