Post adoption update: thanks again for giving Maggie in our care! This is to tell you that things are going smooth beyond even our optimistic expectations, and the girls are really good together. Flannery was hard to keep out of her preferred sunbathing room, it was also heartbreaking to her Maggie cry when we would close the door, so we just sat there together and kept a watch over the long weekend, everyone getting used to one another. And so we have witnessed a swift change from the initial shock and careful distance via hisses and non-aggressive "leave-me-alone-now" demonstrations on Flannery's part to almost entwining tails as they walk around the house now! Maggie responded beautifully to another feline, jumping out at once from her hiding (only to get hissed at, initially :)), so it made us wonder if she would ever deepen her relationship with humans. But she is warming up to us steadily and visibly. She's shy and she's alert whenever out of "her" green carpet, but she's caring and loveable, loves chasing corks and feathers and really enjoys cuddling when she's in the mood and then she purrs like a little tractor! We're both really happy and the cats seem genuinely to enjoy each other's company. We'll surely let you know again before the end of the "trial", but I just wanted to share this splendid news already :)
