have you considered an item of Partners clothing like shirt or a pillowcase so Ladies of the House can get used to their scent before seeing them for the first time?
This is actually the plan! Bringing the kitties something that smells like them ahead of time ought to help, at least I hope.
Although I hadn't thought of a pillowcase, that's a really good idea. I was going to ask them for an article of clothing, but their wardrobe is a little limited; I considered buying them a shirt, but that felt weird. Bringing a pillowcase with me the next time I visit is the perfect solution, and I have plenty of spares.
