Sam the regular cat met Chase the rescue cat last night. I have kept them separate since Sunday just to allow Chase a chance to get somewhat oriented, and Sam to calm down. He was really upset at first. (Ears back, crouching, hissing - even though he couldn't see the new cat.) So they met yesterday, me with some water to throw and a towel in case I needed to intervene, but all went well. I watched them watch each other for about 45 minutes. Ears were perked, and non-threatening postures were assumed, so I left to give them time. They stared at each other for about two hours, then I took Sam away and closed the door to give Chase some quiet time. Hopeful that a truce can develop over time, if not a friendship.
