Yin and Ben are getting used to each other | Andrea de Michaelis – Creating my own reality, one thought at a time

The vision I am holding.

We’re making progress! Everyone survived the night! Yesterday Benny split about 2pm and I kept waiting for a text saying he’s at the bf’s. About 5pm I stepped into the garden to water and there’s Benny the Cat under the bamboo jumping at butterflies! YinYang was glaring at him from across the yard. At one point they growled at each other, but both went on their merry way. At sundown, we hung out with them in the front yard and for awhile they just glared at each other. Then Yinnie chased him down the street, all puffed up. She got picked up by her scruff again (oh! the indignity!) and stuffed inside the bedroom sliding glass door. We brought Benny inside and sat on the couch with him until YinYang came out and they glared again. I know it’s a process.

YinYang paced in and began growling, so Benny split again. An hour later, he cautiously slinks back in and claims his chair. I see that Yinnie is on the bed, so I go to bed and close the bedroom door. Pre-dawn, YinYang is in the living room carpet sleeping, and Benny is on his chair, in plain sight of each other. Progress!
