Making Friends?

Lindley and her parents are currently staying with us for a few weeks while their house is being remodeled. Lindley's cat, Missy, has been staying at their house, because somebody has to be there to guard it when nobody is there. However, next week the drywall dudes will be there putting in walls and sanding them, which is going to be a mess. So today Missy joined her family at Springdoik (the name for our house).

I expected a literal, fang and claw bearing cat fight. However, other than a few growls here and hisses there, it's been pretty quiet. Maggie has been following Missy around and Missy is trying to figure out why Maggie had food out all the time (due to a weight issue, Missy only gets fed twice a day). Tonight, Maggie wanted to jump on the couch with Missy, who was going to have none of it.

It will be interesting to see how this little drama plays out. Will Maggie and Missy be friends? Will Missy figure out a way to get to Maggie's unending food supply? Will there be a sharing of litter boxes, or will poop protest be enacted? Is there a knock-down, drag-out, cat fight in my future?

Guess I'll find out - just hopefully not in the middle of night in my bed!
