Cats have strong proprietorship feeling to their territory and that's why it is a rare thing when the cats are pleased to newcomers coming into their own world.
If the cat is as isolated as it was before, if it is only sometimes interested in newcomer, if it cries, hisses, if it climbs the higher surface or runs out of the room with speed of bullet don't trouble, because it is a normal reaction.

 The Cat and the Canary   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
The Cat and the Canary, released in 1927, is the first of the "Old Dark House" genre of film that has become a stapple of horror and mystery (even working it's way into famous board games like Clue)...

The Cat and the Canary was remade several times, including a sound version only 3 years later entitled The Cat Creeps.

 ..:: Welcome To The Cincinnati Zoo ::..
The first basic behavior and ecology studies on the Pallas’ cat are currently under way yet it is already clear that they are facing some serious threats to their survival in the wild.
Importation of Pallas’ cats from Russia in the mid-1990s as a founder population for North American zoos was followed by frustration in getting these cats to breed and their offspring to survive.
Research at CREW and the National Zoological Park established that Pallas’ cats have a pronounced reproductive seasonality controlled by light exposure and that newborns are extremely susceptible to infection with a parasite called Toxoplasma.

He turned to directing in 1915, often directing his wife Elsie Jane Wilson, but his work was merely routine until he was assigned to complete Merry-Go-Round in 1923 when director Erich von Stroheim was fired from it, and in 1925 guiding Lon Chaney in The Phantom of the Opera.
He soon fell into a professional decline after the advent of sound, and after directing The Cat Creeps and Love Comes Along (both in 1930), his career faded.
Rupert Julian died in Hollywood, California at the age of 64 and was interred in the Forest Lawn Memorial Park Cemetery in Glendale, California.

The Indians, who had been lurking about the cabin all night, were watching for just such an opportunity as this.
Swiftly, silently, stealthily, as a cat creeps upon its prey they closed in upon the doomed cabin and before the soldiers were aware of their presence, were between them and their guns; then came the horrid war-whoop as a score or more of painted warriors rushed upon them with tomahawk and scalping-knife.
It seems that only seven of the soldiers went to the spring to wash, the other two - George Luntz and another whose name is not given - were not probably just ready to wash and were in the cabin when the attack was made.
