A new update:
Everybody is safe.
Xena still tends to keep vigil under the bathroom door, and it's not a
friendly intervention.
But she is calmer now, and not so aggressive towards me.
O'Malley my mini-Hercules is fine, just can't understand why he has to stay
inside. He accepted me, but wants more of my company.
it would help if he didn't get vocal after my brief visits to the bathroom.
Well, there is slight progress, at least on part of Xena.
neither of them used the toilet or ate yet, apart from the yummy treats
which both accept.
I hope you don't get tired of my frequent posts.
Tomorrow will be a real trial, with me going to work for almost 10 hours.
I just hope they won't yell too much abuse at each other while I am away.

I have put a towel for him on a shelf that is kind of sheltered from the
rest of the bathroom...and he found it immediately. He can jump onto his
scratching post straight from there.
I may get some Feliway for Xena, or some other tranquiliser; she is the
one
I am really concerned about.
Right now, she is outside the bathroom, just watching the door......
be calm....just make sure that no-one is hurt for now, keep the doors
closed......
we will make it)
Besides, Anne, the lady who had to dispose of O'Malley (a pedigree cat
btw)
is a lady whom I have known years ago!!!!!!
She is most happy that it is me who got him, knowing that I love cats to
bits.
I just have to be a clever politician as well for now.

Thank you!
It will be a long, rocky road.......at the moment, O'Malley is
screaming
for
attention in the bathroom, while Xena hises at me when I try to
touch
her......I'd better leave her alone for the time being.
O'Malley is a gorgeous orangey-cream colour Burmese, and just to
make
things
funnier....a lot smaller than his new sister, LOL
I'd better leave both alone for now, especially Xena who is very
stressed.
He just wants attention and seems he has accepted me already, but
the
more
time I spend with him now, the more he cries for attention....
meanwhile, Xena came to my chair, had a sniff at my hand and gave a
hissing
fit.....she was NEVER aggressive to me before.
I'd better get some precautions, even may close my bedroom door
tonight
just
in case.
It's not going to be easy, I can tell.
Well, we will give it a go.

Feliway really helped us. It will calm down soon. I did find that
leaving
the light on in Pearl (new cat's) room helped tremendously too. Does
he
have
a cave to go into?
