Thanks, Reg! We're going to have them both in the family room today for monitored play times, then again tomorrow. We do have a large kennel with a litter box in it downstairs in the Kitty Palace, too--we use it to keep JD safe if there are workmen in the house, and it's open the rest of the time so he can use the litter box. I'm thinking maybe the first night they're together downstairs we might put Dusty in there...
Yesterday, when I was in the shed with both of them, I put a couple of treats on my knee as I was crouched down and they both had front paws on my knee at the same time, their heads only inches apart, while they ate their treats.
I missed the shot, since I wasn't sure how they'd react, but I have some from just seconds later that I'll post when I get a chance to sit down and edit them. (I'm so OCD driven that when we take in a new critter, all my time seems to go toward settling them it! I'm as fascinated by them as Lili is!
