Everything was going fine with Lovi even after the move, until she was introduced to the other cats. Loki did a double take when he saw her, but the kittens were more freaked out, and have gradually become more and more aggressive with her. Lovi started peeing on stuff, and I eventually deduced that the kittens were likely keeping Lovi from the litterboxes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We separated them, and everyone calmed down. Apparently this backsliding is a thing that can happen when introducing cats, and you need to be willing to do a reset. But, despite the calming down, it took a week or so for Lovi to start warming back up again. She used to hop up on Sandi&#8217;s lap, but quit that when she was introduced to the kittens. She refused to do that for me, and Sandi realized that the blanket we had on the chair where I read in the bedroom likely smelled of kitten. I replaced that cover with a new blanket, and within the day Lovi had hopped up on it and started making biscuits and rubbing on my hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So, mission accomplished. Here&#8217;s hoping it lasts!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">-the Centaur<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pictured: the new cat, on the new blanket, newly making biscuits.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pictured is Lovi, the newest of our cats, a stray from San Jose which Sandi started feeding, then befriended, then adopted once she&#8217;d become dependent.
