For two days, Java had not attacked or bothered Pekoe. Mind you, they were kept in separate rooms any time no-one was there to monitor them, but still! That's pretty good!
But then today we had friends over, and as we were hanging out, a loud cat scream echoed from upstairs and I was like, "Ah. That's the sound of Java getting in Pekoe's space."
Pekoe screamed again. So I went upstairs to find Pekoe on bro Duck's bed, in full pissed-off-defensive mode, with Java sitting on the other side of the bed just staring at her. No signs of violence, just... staring. Being in the same bed. Pekoe says this is illegal. This is unacceptable!
So I had to shoo Java away, back to the guest room where I could lock her in for a bit
I was disappointed because, man, for a couple days there I thought they were finally learning to coexist. Java has lived at Mom & Duck's for over 3 months! They should be able to be left alone unattended together but no! Still!!!
Later this evening, after our guests had gone home and we'd had dinner and such, Duck and I were upstairs in the media room playing different video games and chatting until like midnight. Finally I wrapped up my game and was gonna head home, so I went looking for Java to say goodnight (Duck had opened the guest room some time ago at that point)
Java was not in the guest room. Huh. Maybe she went to the main floor to see mom
But I saw Pekoe's eyes shining in the dark from Duck's room, so I stopped in to check on her. She was much more relaxed than earlier - she let me pet her and everything. While I was chatting to Pekoe, I saw movement out of the corner of my eye
Java was also in Duck's room! Seems like she had been napping in his computer chair.
And Pekoe had been chilling on his bed.
They'd been alone in his room chilling together unsupervised (several feet apart on different pieces of furniture) for what may have been hours and totally not killing each other. Pekoe was even relaxed enough to be cuddly with me when I popped in
Are they actually getting used to each other!?! Are they actually gonna be able to coexist mostly peacefully?
Come on girls! Be fwiends!!
