Today was the first formal introduction between the Tinys and Bitty.
It went well...for, you know, cats lol.
Bitty was very, very cautious but had no problems letting Morticia sniff her, even groomed Bitty a bit before, I guess, Bitty realised she was supposed to idk hiss? Growl? Her growl is like a very aggressive purr and her hiss is the cutest thing so idk who she thinks she's fooling but it's not Morticia and Espresso. Like she seems to be neutral on Tish, but Bean frightens her.

The Tinys are a little more than half Bitty's size. They are TINY. Bitty has big, meaty paws—the Tinys still have tiny, very soft and gentle paws. They just wanna be friends with their big sister!
Bitty does too but she thinks she's under attack from Bean for...some reason...
(I get it, cats are territorial, even though the scents are now more familiar and she's used to seeing them their physical presence is still an "excuse me who are you???" and it will take a bit before Bitty is Okay.)
The entire time I'm sure Bitty is going, "Now I know how my big sister (Sadie) felt when I was brought inside!"
It was Bean who kept wanting to get closer to Bitty (physically), Tish was content being in my arms and purring up a storm. Her purring has gotten louder which means she's gotten a lot more comfortable. She even groomed me and gave me sandpaper kisses. Bitty doesn't do things like that with me (she's much more attached to Serena); Sadie was the one who loved grooming me and giving me all kind of kitty kisses. I would wake up to her licking my forehead sometimes as she slept on my pillow right on top of my head a lot.
We will do another introduction tomorrow when we're home. Little by little Bitty will adjust. She's young still so it shouldn't take too long. Considering the amount of time it took for her to be okay seeing them through the windows on the catio door wasn't long at all, I'm sure Bitty will be at least neutral in no time at all.
