Getting ready for baby

Since the cats have a lot of changes coming up with the new baby on the way, I decided we needed to get the nursery done and start letting all of them interact all the time. Two different projects with the same goal, less stress when the baby comes. 

Well the nursery was basically finished last Sunday with a major push by my father and the wonderful hubby Will. Now I just need to do massive amounts of laundry of hand-me-down clothing and cloth diapers to get ready for our Peanut's arrival. 

In the mean time I decided that after 7 months of Prozac and isolation with only approved kitties joining her in the master bedroom, Anya should be exposed to the real world and all the other kitties. Like it or not. So for the last three nights and days the doors to the bedroom have remained open at all times except when she is eating.  So far there have been skirmishes and a LOT of growling under the bed, but no bloodshed, and Anya has not taken to hiding all day and night. In fact she sleeps on my pillow and pets my head in the middle of the night. We also get to sleep with Ambrose, several kittens, Penelope (when she doesn't notice Anya) and sometimes Sullivan.  Even Persephone made an appearance in the bedroom one night. So all in all I believe this re-integration of our three cat tribes is going rather well.
