Not the best picture, but it was taken within the first five minutes we had her home from PetSmart in the Safe Room. She was on the bed at her own accord, though, which is a good sign of confidence for a relatively quiet and shy cat. :)
I slept with her in there last night--it was a largely uneventful night. Initial pettins and lovins were to be had before I fell asleep and again this morning when I woke to find her sleeping at my feet. She is such a sweet and loving little girl!! She's already curious about what's on the other side of her closed door, too.
We plan on trying to do the introductions with the boys a little bit faster than we did introductions with Lars as to not get her too terribly attached to the Safe Room. Figure on about 2-4 weeks rather than 4-6 weeks.
Speaking of Lars, he's managing alright without his Safe Room comfort zone. He *did* have an poop accident on the living room carpet, but I can almost understand with all the commotion going on in his life right now. Caught him right after it happened and I gave him a lecture and cleaned it up, which is about all a person can do. Poor fella, it's going to be an adjustment for him.
Neither cat banged on the door last night save for I believe Lars (I could hear claws and Ra is front paw declawed) right after I went in there and was settling down for the night. I slept pretty soundly, though, so for all I know he could've been going to town on that door all night, LOL. So if, indeed, they did not attack the door, that is also a good sign/thing.
I think Dorene is going to work out just fine in our little household. :)
