Even if that doesn't work, you might consider putting out some good quality
(not the Wal-Mart type that has been around forever) catnip for both cats.
It might mellow them out. Mime have always liked the plants (readily
available in the herb sections of most garden centers). You can clip the
leaves and dry them too. Places that have bulk herbs usually have catnip
too.
If you have men who will
exclude any of God's creatures
from the shelter of
compassion and pity, you will have men who
will deal likewise with
their fellow man.

Kerry,
I'm not sure if this will work because Kitty probably isn't as playful as
my younger kitties, but it's worth a try. When I was introducing my two
kitties I made a toy out of two catnip scented mice tied together with a
ribbon. I put the ribbon under a shut door with one cat in each room and
one toy on each side. Every time one kitty would grab a mouse it would
make the other mouse move. It really helped my cats get used to
eachother, without the intimidation of being face to face. If your friend
has a toy that she knows kitty really likes, it might be enough to entice
her to play and it sounds like Danny is desperate for some feline
comanionship.

Thanks Nina!--that's what i wanted to hear before I give B my 2 cents
worth
(re the boxes). Yes, she has always been very dedicated to Kitty, so i
really hope she perseveres with Danny. It was her mention of "giving it a
month" that sent shivers down my spine when i got back. And lost me no
time
in directing the prob to the wonderful list. I hope now that she feels
she's
getting all this wonderful info and support she'll keep ploughing on.
Kerry
