hahaha oh poor you. It would be bloody hard. I think if I wasn't reading all this I would so be one of those people that would just throw them together in a room and let them fight it out.

And I can certainly understand about the couch (and any ways teaching her scratching is a bad thing I don't think would be bad).

Best best best of luck. It sounds like you are doing all the right stuff. I hope you get some sleep tonight. (I can give you some earplugs otherwise) I'm sure given some times Sera will calm down. I don't think Zi seems like the kind of cat to fight her for top place, and once they have that pecking or sorted I assume they will be happier.

I have my fingers crossed for you.

(All this talk of cats has got my Mum clucky and she has started talking about a kitten for her since she is home all the time *goes back to reading more about introducing kittens to cats* My cat would have a litter *grin* if I brought anouther cat home!)
