Hi there. I'm glad your cats are getting acclimated to each other. Wanna hear a bunny story?
I had a house rabbit and got a second one. They fought like crazy. I thought they would kill each other. Seriously, if you've never seen bunnies fight, it's terrible. They basically lie on their sides and kick with their hind legs. Their toenails are pretty tough, and the fur and blood flies. It's awful. They can do a lot of damage to each other in just a few seconds. So I separated my home with a long dog fence down the middle. Still a couple times one bunny would manage to jump the fence and attack the other and I'd have to rush in and separate them. I got so frazzled from worrying about them, separating them, not to mention constantly stepping over the 2.5 foot tall fence down the middle of my home.
Well one night I was awakened by the fence jangling and rushed into the bedroom expecting to have to pull them off each other again. But they were just sitting there side by side, which is what bunnies do when they're friends. One bunny had actually scaled the fence just to be with the other. After that they were the best of buddies. I never would have believed it would work out.
