The reactions are predicable. Fil has taken everything in stride and while is no friend to the two previous occupants, she is hardly antagonistic. Mak on the other hand is a pain in the ass. Of course, he's the only male in a home full of estrogen, but that's no excuse for being a prick (in most cases anyway).
Jen's cats Ruby and Smudge are having a difficult time with the additional housemates as well. Ruby is a skittish cat to begin with and with the arrival of Mak and Fil has taken up permanent residence in the bedroom, hissing at anything that dares enter her private lair. Smudge is more nonchalant, going about the house with nary a care in the world, that is, until Mak decides to randomly attack her.
Smudge is a super sweet cat with some adorable idiosyncrasies. She will come to you. All you have to do is whistle the theme song to "I Dream of Jeanie." When she does come, she will set her bulk on your chest and lick you. At least she has always done me, which either means I taste really good, or I'm seriously dirty and need to be bathed.

Hefty! Bulk! Wasn't I nice to offer you a place to stay? Incidentally, they're within the normal range. Mak & Fil are like cat midgets, weighing in at 3 lbs. http://www.vetinfo.com/catnorm.html#Cat%20norms%20and
