We’ve been considering getting a second cat for a while now, but we were really worried how Henry would react. When we brought little Blanche home from the shelter, she had a serious sinus infection. So, coupled with the fact that Henry wasn’t too sure about her, we had to keep them separated. After a few days, we had a few supervised meetings during which one of us held Blanche while Henry sniffed around. When we finally felt comfortable letting them interact, it’s was about as cute as you’d imagine. Here are some pictures from their meeting.

Have just found your blog and looked through a couple of back pages. When I found these adorable photos I just had to write and tell you how much I loved seeing them. We have two cats (one of whom is called Henry) and your photos remind me of when we introduced our Henry to his little brother William.
Hi Megan! I’m so glad you like them. It was a rough few days for them, but they are best buds now. We often find them curled up together, and we feel better leaving them all day now that we know they have each other.:)
