Evie and Max
Two weeks ago, we (my dad and I) adopted a three year old male kitty named Max, and brought him into the apartment to live with my two year old, Siamese mix,Evie, who hadn't lived with another cat full time since she left the pet store. That's her in my icon.
I knew she could get along with other pets, because she and I sometimes spend the night at my mom's house where she plays with my mom's cats and has a such a good time that she hides when it's time to come home. But for another cat to come into HER territory was something entirely different.
Ten days ago I was scared to death that they would never get along. She was like a dragon guarding my dad's room, keeping him hidden under the bed.
For the past three nights, he's slept in the bed with she and I, and during the days, they sleep curled up together now. I am so happy that they get along, and that Evie likes him now! It's so adorable to come home and see them sleeping together on the couch, or chasing each other down the hall.
And it's really nice when I wake up in the middle of the night with one kitty purring in my ear and another snuggled under my arm. In fact, I'm heading there now, and Max is already in the bed waiting for me.
I so need to get some pictures of him, he's a handsome devil.
