Kitty!

Its fun to watch how each cat reacts to her. When I first brought her home, Damien noticed right away. He wanted to smell her and smell her carrier and her things and purr. Plumpers only cared about smelling her blanket and then wandered off to get a drink of water. Mephistophiles was oblivious. He greeted me on the couch a half hour after she came home and purred and demanded attention, but didn't notice the little being on my lap. It took him a good fifteen minutes before he looked over and decided that she needed a sniff. Even that didn't take long before he decided that Lillian wasn't going to rub him and thus was not worthy of attention yet.

The first time she cried, all of the cats lined up in my room and looked at me with this 'what is that god awful noise?' expression. It made me feel even more guilty.

When she first met Tigger and Sassy, they were relatively oblivious to her as well. Tigger basically ignored her, and tried climbing on top of her to get scritches. Sassy didn't really care one way or the other. You can still see these responses in the cats. Damien sits next to her, doesn't care when she kicks him and generally tries to avoid stepping on her. Mephy will cuddle her, but leaves as soon as she starts wiggling. Tigger would lay on top of her, but knows that he would get kicked off of the couch entirely if he even looked like he would step on her, so he generally gets as close as he can.
