Adopting Pascal

We decided a week or 2 ago to adopt Pascal, the black kitten with the white nose and a little bit of other white on him. So, several days ago, we began letting him into the house for short periods of time so that he could explore a little and become familiar with it. Yesterday, we took the plunge and brought him in for good, so last night was his first night in here.

Things went surprisingly well with him, and he already seems quite content in here, as you can see from this photo of him lying on my desk this morning:

Our other cat, Katom, however, is apoplectic! Any time that Pascal gets anywhere near him, he begins to emit a low growl. Sometimes, he's even very mad at US and won't even let us touch him. This morning, he growled, hissed, and swatted at me, showing his teeth. It's going to take him quite a while to adapt, I think. We try to pay attention to him and let him know that we still love him, but his attitude is limiting how much of that we can do. He'll get used to it eventually, I'm sure, but probably not too soon. Luckily, Pascal doesn't seem to take any of the growling personally. He avoids getting too close to Katom, but mostly he just seems a little mystified, at most.
