If you follow my blog, you know that Lily Olivia is not a fan of her feline housemates and vice versa. She’s always hissing and growling. They are always hot on her heels as she runs from their imminent attacks.
But for some unknown reason, she and Lisbeth have never acted in this manner toward each other. Lily Olivia eats on the kitchen counter next to the sink. If any of the other kitties, except Lisbeth, get up on the counter, she has a meltdown and one or both sets to whapping the other. However, if Lisbeth encroaches, Lily either ignores her or they touch noses and have a brief sniff.
Lily Olivia and Lisbeth asleep together.
But last night was a first! They were sound asleep, not just next to each other but touching. I am sure neither of them knew to whom they were snuggled against. And granted, they were lying back-to-back, but it was still a sight to behold.
To Lisbeth, of course, it wouldn’t matter which of the others had curled up next to her. To Lily, who knows? But as Lily Olivia normally only snuggles with her humans, we suspect that she sensed her sleep-mate was Lisbeth.
Is this the dawn of a new era? Is Lily Olivia making a friend after 14 years? Lily is the bridge between the angel kitties and our current feline population. The only one of our previous kits she didn’t know was Twinkle. And so, until Lisbeth, Twinkle was the only cat of the 16 others with whom she never had a disagreement.
Another view of the sleepers.
Lily does seem to be mellowing with age. You can read about this in an earlier post, “What Happened to Lily ‘s Naturally Snotty Personality?” She displayed this newly acquired confidence and goodwill again last night, not only by her sleeping position, but also by the fact that when she woke up and saw Lisbeth was her bed-mate, she simply moved a few inches away and curled up in the opposite direction. She didn’t huff, hiss, snarl, growl, bark or exhibit any of her normally anti-social behavior. To that I say, “Yippee!”

You need to keep it real Lily! Don’t go that snuggly route. Someone gonna break your heart. You do look rather cute.
Happy St. Patrick’s Day from Pope Keisha.
I refuse to sleep next to Harley. I don’t even want him touching me!
Thanks for visiting, Nanny is going through the same with the doggies and me too! I’m not nice with the doggies.
This is so adorable! The Human has had a kitty or two who remained aloof from others–and then of course there’s ME–I’m 8 going on 9 and have never–willingly–curled up next to the Human–ha ha ha!
Let’s hope it keeps up! For my part, since all Five are related, there is rarely a scuffle, and that only temporary. I don’t miss the days of locking two cats in separate rooms! But I do miss the cats themselves.
Yes, a dawn of a new era! 😉
They look adorable, sleeping like that.
That is a terrific picture and so much fun to see kitties getting along. Some of us get along every now and then.
They are adorable sleeping next to each other! How sweet!
Such spotty sweetness over here! I would love to curl up in bed beside them and have a snoozy too! Cute!
Happy Friday!

That is so sweet. We wonder if there’s hope for our Zoey. She doesn’t like me and Wally at all.

That is sweet to see them sleeping like that.
That is a real smile maker and I know you are glad you got to see that, otherwise you might not have believed it!
Such adorable photos and a good story=we hope your beautiful girls continue their budding friendship because it’s always nice to have a friend 🙂 (sometimes we hiss and chase each other, but mostly, we get along)…Thanks for visiting us and all your nice comments…Hope you all have a wonderful evening, sweet friends…xoxo…Calle, Halle, Sukki, Mommy Cat, Daddy Cat
I love this. Grizelda won’t sleep or cuddle with Chloe Jo or Maggie, though they sleep together. It’s odd, because Grizelda & Chloe Jo are littermates that I bottle-fed. I think it is because Chloe Jo is very clingy & demanding. Maggie babies her, but Grizelda is independent.
If you can figure out what makes a cat purr (or behave as they do)…you will be known as the Cat Whisperer! LOL Gotta love those kitties!
Do you think there is hope for my Abby? She will be 14 this year and has yet to mellow. She hates her siblings and especially her look a like Miss Boo.
This deeply touched me…….we join you in a resounding “YIPPEE!!”
Yippie! Being the ME Queen Penelope will not touch my brother, (very often) and me has hissy fits and yeowels when me sees him, me is always happy to see other siblings gets along.
Kisses

Awww what sweeties. As M says – you never know what us kitties will do next. We are always full of surprises. Thank you so much for visiting my blog. I always love meeting new pals.
So kyoot. Sounds like our Mss Fitz who finds anycat tedious but every now and then…
