How precious is this.

22. I think I really lucked out

When I brought Madoc and his litter mates in, Sophie did not approve. On rare occasion she'd let one of them near her. She was old and sick so it didn't surprise me. I just gave her a whole lot of 'her and me' time. When the kittens were put back in their room, at night, she'd sleep on me, all night.

Madoc and Gryff bonded within days. Fortunately puberty hadn't yet entered the situation and they were both neutered, shortly after.

I set it up so that the boys could see Arthur and his siblings through a glass partition. There were a few soft hisses and swats but far more curiosity and fascination. Once the kittens joined the 'general population', things went great.

And for some reason, bringing Carys and her siblings in was seamless. The boys just welcomed them in. Maybe they figured why waste time being mean when we can PLAY!!
