Thank you so much for the encouragement. Stella is SOOOOOO interested in the kitties. When she was younger, it wasn't as big of a deal. She would walk up cautiously, smell them and they didn't mind so much. Now, she sees them and immediately begins to chase them. And you're exactly right - it's like she just wants someone to pin the cat down so she can smell every square inch! I don't think she'll hurt them - she's just so darn curious! Fingers crossed it will all work out. Also, she will be kennelled when no one is home, which isn't very often. My step-mom is a teacher (off during the summer) and my dad is a police officer who works different shifts. Thanks again for the insight. I'm not hoping for them to be the best of friends, just hoping they can live in peace!
