Peanut is the only one who's got the big brother temperament here. His sister is fussy with everyone else. I constantly have to remind her to "be nice" and not swat anyone. The five old cats are set in their ways. I biggest cat (a Norwegian) is actually a big scaredy cat. I do hope he comes around someday. My Maine Coon is more of a wait-and-see mode right now. Sometimes okay; sometimes not. He's acting out at times.
I think what's really happening is not so much the entrance of Luna. It's the loss of Sweetie. Sweetie was the Leader of the herd, without letting it be a big deal. Everyone took their cue from him. His loss has been felt big time, and not just by me. So, now there's a reshuffling, I think. And no one knows "their place," if you know what I mean. I'm trying to establish myself as "Alpha" in the way that Sweetie was and they look at me like I'm nuts! (Hehehe) I'm just "Mama" Eventually, everyone will settle back in a groove and someone will rise to the top of the pecking order. I hope my hair doesn't turn completely silver before then!
