Twilight Zone?


I could NOT believe my eyes. We had a friend over this afternoon, and Victor is afraid of strangers. He was so outgoing at his adoption fair, I never expected this. Bonnie always meets visitors at the door and puts them in their place. Then she either sticks around, growling under foot, or if they stay in one place, she'll eventually retreat to the bedrooms, returning often to sniff with disdain, clearly saying, "Oh, you're still here?"

When Victor failed to approach our friend at all, I went looking for him. He was somewhere not unexpected... on the boy's bed... with none other than Bonnie! (He's camoflaged on the far left, just below the blinds and next to a big patch of black blanket)

This may not seem like anything to many people, but for Bonnie and Victor to be on the same furniture at the same time... it's HUGE. And Bonnie knew Victor was there. Perhaps she's relaxed her boundaries for him. Perhaps she sensed he was afraid and softened. Perhaps I was imagining things. But I have two pictures and three witnesses to back me up.

BONNIE AND VICTOR WERE ON A BED TOGETHER!

  2. Looks like they are starting to get along. It's good to have friends where you live. I like having bruddys and sissyfurs. 'Cause you're never bored with some other cat around.

  3. Yay, progress! Maybe Bonnie is starting to realise that brothers can be cuddly. Ok, so she is not actually cuddling him yet, but it's still progress. Have you seen the pics of Ullrick's blog of him cuddling his little sister? THAT is the cuddliest picture ever!

  4. Yes, small steps, but good. Maybe in time she will really tolerate him and cuddle up with him.

  5. YAY. I remember the first time Trixie let Sammy, and then Miles, in the same room with her. Never had that problem with Norton, but Trixie, she's queen of the roost and doesn't hesitate to let anyone know it's all hers.

  8. Alright Victor! You managed to warm up Bonnie's heart towards you. Now if you can just talk to Beau Beau and splain how it was ok for you and Bonnie so he should let Angie share his bean's bed.

  9. Wow! I never thought I'd see this with my own eyes! Maybe they'll start dating and we'll have a June wedding to attend!

    Or maybe it was just a fluke...

  10. Once in awhile a bed is just so comfortable, you even let a cat lay next to you... even Georgia sometimes lets Chey cuddle...

  11. My humans always want to see me and my brother and sisters cuddling up together, and you know what? That ain't going to happen. After 10 years together, we might nap on the same bed, provided there is enough space between us. A cat needs its space, you know...
