Wolfie is stood looking ominous and grim-reaperish at my half open bedroom door. Tabitha is sat on my bedroom floor. They are eyeballing each other. Neither has moved for 10 minutes. There has been intermittent growls and spits. Obviously I can't go to bed until one of them throws in the towel, and I can't leave the room as I need to be here in case of kick-off. Bloody cats.

Heavens! How long have they known each other?

Guess you can't just close the door? Would Tabitha need to go out overnight?

Wolfie arrived just under a week ago, they are mostly ignoring each other but Tab sneaked into my room tonight before he did - he's been sleeping under my bed since he arrived so this is clearly territorial! She doesn't go out at night, he's not going out yet anyway so this could go on for aaaaages! And I can't shut the door because Wolfie is sat right in the threshold Grin both seem more relaxed now anyway. Lying down and not growling. I can just sleep perching on the edge of my bed. It's fine.

Can you make a fuss of Tabitha, to show Wolfie that she's the boss and here first? He won't agree but Tabitha will probably be calmer knowing you're on her side.

Yes, I sat with her for a bit and she got lots of tummy rubs. I ventured downstairs and she followed me with not a twitch from Wolfie and she's now having a last run around the garden. So I think it's all quiet for now! He'll be back under my bed and I'm hoping she goes to her usual spot when DS sneaks her into his room thinking I don't realise 😊

Hope you got through the night without any epic battles!

Urgh well Wolfie has progressed from sleeping under my bed to on my face.

That's adorably annoying. My two do that. Though I suspect they may actually be trying to suffocate me.
