On Friday evening we introduced Popcorn and Pumpkin to the new pair (formerly Leah and Kumar, now Maggie and Hendrix- he was named by my fiance who is a rock music fan).
I'm so glad to report that they're getting on really well! Maggie and Pumpkin have had a couple of things to sort out but I expected that since Pumpkin was dominant over Popcorn when it was just the two of them. Maggie's much much bigger than Pumpkin (doesn't really show in the photos but Pumpkin is mostly fur really, she's quite a small 5 month-old) but Pumpkin has still been trying to challenge her. It's only been a couple of very light nips though and on the whole things are incredibly harmonious.
Pumpkin and Maggie:
Hendrix is in his element. He was really pestering all of the girls on Friday and Saturday, but he does seem to have calmed down now, with much less rumble-strutting.
