Last week the "unthinkable" happened. In the midst of this discord between our girls Tia always had a safe zone...a favorite chair...to which she'd retreat whenever things got too uncomfortable for her. I told my husband I was going to let the two of them work things out without interference as long as Wooly didn't try to get into that chair! She'd eyed it a few times and I'd warned her off. Well, last week I came home to find her in the chair. Despite my earlier threats I let her be. Tia has found a level of comfort several other places in the house and as long as she has those I'm okay with Wooly using the chair. (I haven't seen Tia in it since.) I do think, though, that it rather solidifies the idea that Wooly's the alpha cat. I can't say that doesn't make me a bit sad.
