Things continue to go well with Relic's integration into our home.
He's still playing door games (in and out and in and out and in and out...) though it still makes me smile to see him saunter across the lawn right to the back door. He definitely knows where he lives.
It's also become VERY apparent that he has chose Dave as his person. When he is in the house, he's most often with Dave. And just like Peno, he has to have an evening cuddle with Dave. (sometimes they decide they both need to be with Dave at the same time, and much hilarity ensues as they work out who gets to snuggle where and how).
It was never more apparent than my first night home after my work trip. We climbed into bed, Burton came next, followed closely by Relic, who made a beeline for MY pillow. The look on his face when he realized it was already occupied by me was priceless. And that's when Dave explained "Yeah... he slept there while you were gone..."
His relationship with Rupert is slowly getting better. Rupert's sneak attacks are becoming fewer and fewer, and Relic takes them in stride. And the bed remains neutral territory...
As long as they don't make eye contact. Maybe one day they will tussle with each other like they both do with Burton, but for now we'll happily accept these peaceful timeouts.

I think I ♥ Relic!! Oh! That outstretched paw!!!
I'm glad things are going so well! He certainly seems pleased with his new family.
Sweet kitty cuddles-the best!
The pecking order is a complicated organism!
Great story!
He sure is a handsome dude! Sounds like you could end up losing your pillow though. It starts out with a look and before you know it they've taken over. I have to ask Lilly Bean for permision to get into my bed. She has pretty much claimed it as her territory.
How wonderful that Relic is adjusting. I love the image of them tussling to be on Dave's lap.
