I have 2 cats Panda and Bastet. I have had Panda for almost 2 years now, but Bastet is a recent addition of about 2 months now. Panda was pretty playful and rather sweet until Bastet s came along. Bastet being a kitten wanted to play with Panda, and Panda couldn't stand her. This has been going on since I got Bastet, until today.
Today I bought a laser pointer to use as a cat toy, and as predicted both cats went nuts over it. Bastet being the younger was leaping up the walls after it, and Panda was even chasing it rather energetically (which is odd since she has been lethargic since I got the kitten). Anyway after about 15 minutes of running them around the apartment chasing the little red dot, that they can't figure out how to actually catch and eat, I put the laser pointer up. Keep in mind that while they were playing Panda would still growl and bat at Bastet if she got to close. After putting it up Panda promptly went over to Bastet and glomped her and started licking her. I have no idea what it was about the laser pointer that caused this, but they have played together with toy mice and such before and I have never seen this happen. Now they seem to be friends. In fact while writing this I have both of them trying to sit on my laptop, which never happens since Panda doesn't like being within a couple of feet of Bastet.
In conclusion, if you have pets that don't get along buy a laser pointer.

Whatever it takes, right? It's great that they are getting along now though. Hopefully it will stay that way!
