Office Cat

So, we're about three weeks into breaking in the new cat, and we've hit a snag. Apparently, "three" was the maximum number of cats we could have who would tolerate each other, and Lily makes #4. I had her sleep in my office for a week before letting her venture out, and it has been a nightmare. She hops on the counter and guards the food dispenser half of the day, but she doesn't really seem to be eating. I've decided that she doesn't like other cats to touch the food that she's going to eat. The other cats don't seem to get along with her yet either... especially Randall, the alpha male cat. He chases her out of the litter boxes on a semi-regular basis.

So... she's back in my office. I leave the door open, but I've sort of insisted that this be a safe zone for her. She can eat in here, and the top of the printer is a safe spot from the other cats for the most part. Kind of hard to get anything done thought, what with a cat to pet at arm's reach all day...
