Cat meets Cat

Since we're going away to various conferences, we're taking Dean to stay with Ed while we're gone. We took the cat over today to meet Ed's cat, hopefully easing the adjustment process later on. Most guides about introducing cats to other cats say that the cats should be gradually introduced, with one locked in a room with his food and litter for a few days while they both get used to each other. In this case, we left Dean on one half of the apartment for about half an hour before we let them meet each other, probably not the best move. Eme hissed at Dean, Dean hissed back and they kinda slinked around each other for a while. Eme's learned to make a weird cooing noise that is supposed to frighten things. I don't think Dean was phased. We'll see how they get along once they move in together next week!
