Cats and kittens

I can't believe it. I knew that B was a very different cat than when I first got him, but I didn't realize until today just how different he was. My friend and her daughter brought the kitten over and B just sniffed him, hissed a little and walked away. Now, he is "chatting" with the kitten. He keeps meowing at him. So far, so good. I'm still going to lock the baby up in my bedroom when I go out later but this is huge progress for a cat who used to beat the crap out of my brother's cats.
