Firefly the Kitten

It has been a week since we adopted Firefly the kitten to our household of one 10yr old and two 2 1/2 year olds. The first three days were rather unnerving seeing our three cats uncomfortable in their own home. They would walk around nervously because they smelled something different in the house. They are back to walking around like normal. Our 10 year old cat ,named Tabby, now just watches Firefly with an --I don't care attitude---but we believe she secretly wants to take Firefly under her paw and give her some elderly advice. Give it another day or so. Gray, one of our 2 1/2 year olds is only occasionally hissing at Firefly, has touched noses a few times and has sat close together. Eventually they will become close friends. However our other 2/1/2 year old Pumpkin is another subject. She has hissed the most---she is our most friendly cat and we thought they would have taken to each other without a problem. It's all a show with Pumpkin, she will be close to Firefly just watching her and secretly wanting to play and then suddenly she realizes----I'm supposed to be made at you and hisses. Both are pure black and pretty soon they will be playing tricks on us as to--- who is who. But from day one Firefly took over the house, found two places to explore that assistance was needed to get back out of---we would have bet that nothing could have gotten under there---but we were wrong. When anyone would hiss at her she just walked away with this----WHATEVER attitude MEOWING under her breath ---- I'M NOT GOING ANYWHERE. She has learned to use the cat door so she can go out onto the screened porch and back. We feel all of this is normal behavior and each day gets better and better. They make us laugh and we return with love. Kathy and Gary
