I know I said in a previous post that I’m keeping a distance (or more specifically, a door) between the girls and our cat; however, my mom made the good point that I can’t expect them all to get along if I don’t give them a chance to interact. She suggested that perhaps the girls wouldn’t be so hyper and rough with him if he were a more commonplace sight around the house. So I decided to offer supervised visitation between the girls and Tommy the other day. It went well, I guess. No one ended up mauled, that I could tell. Maybe we made some small steps forward in bridging the female-feline gap in the household. Or maybe Tommy was just so grateful for the attention that he’d put up with anything right now.
On second thought, I don’t think that look on his face in this picture is one of gratitude. It looks more like attitude!
Tommy looks like he is resigned to the fact that if he wants to be warm and in the house, This is what he has to put up with. Who knows, they might just grow to ignore each other. Cats are good at ignoring humans.(Just ask your Dad.)
