So I've had to start locking Bêlit up until Sinbad finishes his meals. I feel badly about it, but she is preventing him from getting enough food; he's been hunger vomiting.
Aside from that though, I think the only thing left for their integration is me wanting them to cuddle.
They are approaching best bud status now, every time they encounter each other in the house, they nose bump, then tail sniff/nuzzle each other. Whenever I fall asleep alone in the bed I am covered in cats when I wake up - Sinbad takes my feet as usual, Bêlit takes my knees. I even saw that magical tail heart earlier, when they are standing right next to each other so their tails make a heart shape. Wish I'd had the camera, it was adorable.
Before bed last night they gave my husband and I an absolutely adorable/hysterical shows - it is Sinbad's habit to charge into the master bathroom when my husband is in there, to demand scritches. I think he thinks the toilet is the daddy scritching throne. He actually gets cranky and yells at me when I use it. "That's daddy's throne mommy, what are you doing in there?!"
So anyway, last night hubby was in there, and Sinbad came charging for his scritches. Bêlit naturally wanted to know what was going on and followed. Well, apparently, this is super special Sinbad time, not to be interrupted, because Sinbad saw her approaching from behind, turned around, and popped her on the bum! Not his usual patting, but an actual go away smack! Then stood guard so she couldn't get near my hubby until he left the bathroom, smacking her bum whenever she tried.
I heard my hubby roaring with laughter, and he started telling me this story, during which they gave me a funny show - Sinbad comes trotting around the corner, Bêlit behind him, and then! Wonders! Tempest jumped out of her room! Sinbad immediately starts heading up the stairs. Tempest is, after all, his one true love. Bêlit is good company, but Tempest is out! Bêlit got so upset that she was being abandoned - she actually jumped on top of Sinbad trying to stop him from getting to Tempest. She wound up sprawled sideways across his back, two front legs on one side of him, two back legs on the other, and he was just trotting along completely ignoring her as he literally dragged her up with him. She fell off him halfway up the stairs, and then while Sinbad was pawing at Tempest, she did the pointed cat "I'm ignoring you" thing to Sinbad by sitting in the middle of the landing with her back to him, shifting every time he moved to make sure she was properly lined up for The Shunning.
I think I was close to dying from laughter, both hubby and I were literally crying we were laughing so hard. I wish I'd seen Sinbad smacking her bum. Oh man that would have been hilarious.
