Introducing the pug to Bob was wonderfully uneventful. They both ignored each other. We will continue to do longer visits. Tabitha is also continuing to do well. She is very sweet and naive and seems to have no clue that other cats may take issue with her running up to them unannounced so she continues to do that and Bob has been letting her.
However we are running into issues with the second cat which is surprising as she was the one who would run over to the window and watch Bob for hours when he was outside. And she would hang out by his door, rolling around after he came inside as long as the door was closed. I was convinced she had a crush on him! But when we have a screen up and she can see him, she hisses and growls and will swat at the other kitty (Tabitha) who she's been living with for years if Tabitha gets too close to her when Bob is in view. Bob, on the other hand, seems completely unaffected by Monet's noises and will go up to the screen to see what's going on. He has not hissed or growled once. I will continue to feed her by Bob's door until she settles down enough that we can try an introduction without the screen.
In other news, I gathered the courage up to pick Bob up today and that was also gloriously uneventful. He was not bothered by it in the least!
