That must have been a bit of a culture-shock at first, but it sounds as if she is getting used to feline companionship now!
It helps I think, when a person has grown up with animals around. The only period of my life when I didn't have an animal in the house was from about age 18, when I left my parents' house, to age 26. First four years I was a student, and then living and working in London, and doing a lot of travelling.
But we lived in a block of flats, and one morning a neighbour's cat chose my bed to have her two kittens. We kept the kittens, and I've always had an animal since, except for 2 years between my Jack Russell passing, and meeting Misty. Even now, when I don't literally have my own, I have a cat by proxy!
