Cali and the kitty

One of my roommates decided recently that she wanted a kitten and within a week or so, she had one. Cali has lived with a cat before and it wasn't terrible, but it wasn't all that peaceful either. This is how I would describe it (and there are people who think this is a funny description): Cali will not hurt the kitten, she will just think the kitty is neat. And this is exactly how it goes. The first week, she was quite scared of the kitten. She would turn her head from it, stay upstairs and walk in big "U's" to avoid getting near it.....unfortunately, this phase quickly wore off. We moved rapidly into the "kitty being neat phase" and we are still currently, and will probably remain, there. The kitty is cute and very sweet. She is desperate to be around people and DOES NOT like being locked in my roommate's room. She cries the most loud pitiful cry you have ever heard to get out. The other night she was doing this very thing and I found Cali laying down in front of the door nose to the bottom of the door frame, pining for the kitty. Here are some pictures below.
