Recently we added 2 rescue cats to the family and are experiencing some growing pains at the moment.
Before the adoptions we already had 2 female house cats Biney and Cleo. Biney is quite a feisty one, that will fight for anything she wants. Cleo on the other hand is quite pedantic. How my views on these two changed.
The first newcomer was Luna, a rescue kitten, and to my biggest surprise ever miss hell cat was the friendly one and miss pedantic turned into the ultimate monster. Cleo hisses, growls and even attacks the baby, Where Biney brings her birds and mice to chew on, and even plays with her.
Things where just getting back to normal when Dexter a male Maine Coon who's owner passed away arrived about two weeks ago. Cleo has taken up arms again and we are have a cat civil war on our hands. Early one morning I ended up in the middle of the battle, as the battle ground was on my pillow around my head. My husband teases me and call me scar face at the moment. Biney and Luna are playing the roles of mediators and silent war witnesses.
Hopefully the civil war will end soon and peace again will reign.
The oddest this of it all is, my two German Shepard Dogs accepted the newbies as part of the family.
