Cat Integration 2010 continues...
The FNC (Spencer, so far), now has tentative freedom of the apartment. Ripley intermittently growls and hisses. (Sometimes she tries to do both at once and snorts. Hilarity ensues.)
Spencer is quite the passive-aggressive-never-really-gets-in-her-face kind of cat. He'll walk up, safely outside her "Kill All Cats!" bubble, and touch her toys. Or jump up on the couch with me. Or just lie on the floor, blatantly ignoring her. I mean, if he started something, it would be over pretty quick, since he's literally like three times her size. But he's working the whole "Hey, I'm harmless" schtick. We'll see if it has any results.
So far, he at least semi-acknowledges the name Spencer*. We'll work on it from there.
* What? He's solemn, not much for playing, investigates everything, he's tougher than he looks, and he's pretty. Don't judge me.
