I'm amazed.

Well my fears have been abated. Girl (my cat) and Gantry have met and Girl has had almost no reaction to Gantry whatsoever. No hissing, nothing. It wasn't until Gantry actually touched her that she finally turned around and gave him a small hiss. He quickly got the message and he backed off and ever since there has been absolutely no drama. None. Zero. I'm flabbergasted.

For those of you who don't know my cat this is HUGE. She likes no other living thing except me and is quite violent when jacked with. Ever since I've had her (I got her when she barely had her eyes open and bottle-fed her for a few weeks) she's been like that. She wasn't abused and she's been completely pampered her whole life but she has decided that she's a one person cat for some reason. She's depriving herself of a lot of affection because people always want to pet her. Everytime I have new people over I always give them the "Whatever you do, don't pet the white cat" line and inevitably I have the person who thinks they're the cat whisperer and can pet Girl despite my warnings. Multiple lacerations and a bit of blood loss later I get the same old, "HOLY CRAP! YOUR CAT IS MEAN!"

Um yeah, I already said that.

So you now understand the profoundness that Gantry and Girl not only are coexisting but actually (shall I say it) like each other??

It just goes to show that animals have a certain body language, energy(?) that they give off to one another and there are many things communicated that us detached humans can't see. Girl didn't see Gantry as a threat at all even though, at first, he was very curious and went right up to her. He even chased her a bit in the yard and she acted very nonchalant about it(!). She hardly acted this good with Tanis and Zak (my previous guys) and she was around them her whole life. While I was working yesterday I even noticed that they were sleeping not a foot away from each other.

I'm amazed.
