That's all for now folks. After the eye to eye contact I picked Jack up and took him back to the bedroom and Peanut slinked off to the basement. He was out and about for a little over an hour, and I figured that was enough excitement for both of them for one night.....or so I thought.

So here I'm sitting on the computer posting these pics and Peanut comes back upstairs, just like usual and lays down in her favorite spot under the heat lamp. She's purring away as usual so I know the whole thing hasn't been too upsetting for her.

Then I hear CJ crying at the bedroom door wanting out again. And me....being the softie that I am....well....he's wandering around downstairs now and I don't even think Peanut knows he's out. This is the way I wanted it in the first place so he could explore without her hiss/growl/spit input.

Overall it went extremely well. She was doing the hiss/spit/growl routine, but really didn't seem overly upset, didn't run and hide an didn't attack him. He, on the other hand, could have cared less that she was even in the room! I have great video (I know I keep saying that) of her sitting in her box hissing and growling at him, and he picks up one of the toys from Catmandu and starts playing with it, within 2 feet of her! He really could have cared less that she was hissing at him! The only time he hissed was when I picked him up to put him back in the bedroom. He didn't want to go, poor boy.

Now he's sloooowwwly making his way up the stairs, while she is still sitting under the heat lamp, purring away.

Gee, nothing like a play by play. I was just skritching her chin and he meowed and she jumped. She really didn't know he was there! But no hisses, and she went right back to rubbing her chin into my hand....and he decided for some reason to head back downstairs.

I really do need to get to bed. I haven't been feeling that well myself tonight, but I want to let him explore a bit, and I want to spend a little time with Peanut. So I'm going to sign off for now, and I promise there will be videos tomorrow. Sorry, I know how awful it is to wait....
