You guys at least give me hope that Mimi and Butter will someday co-exist peacefully. Yesterday, Mimi scratched his beautiful nose and his paw...drew blood for the first time. If he would just leave her alone, but NO, he is so curious about her that he goes and gets right in her face. She puts those ears down and starts growling and swatting. I bought Butter some toys yesterday to distract him, but of course the dogs have already destroyed the catnip mouse when I wasn't looking.
We're going to keep working on it, and thankfully, Butter allows me to pick him up when they are swatting, and I move him into another room.
This morning, my daughter, who is sick today, started yelling for me to come fast. She was lying on the couch. Mimi was on her chest and Butter was right above her head on the back of the couch. They were about to go for each other right over Helen's face! That was a little too close for comfort.
