Day two of the two-cat household...

So, last night I took Myfanwy to bed with me, leaving the visitor outside. It did initially attempt to come into the bedroom too, but a little growling from Myfi soon dissuaded it from doing so ;-)

Since then there's been periods of hissing and growling, and periods of quiet where they've kept out of each other's sight, but thankfully no actual fighting. I did have to lock the little one in the bathroom while we went out, but other than the sink's hot tap getting knocked on for an unspecified amount of time, that seemed to go without a hitch. It was snuggled up in the sleeping box I put in there when Rowan went to check on the sound of running water.

I've sent an email to the local RSPCA, asking them for help in locating the owner, and I'll be giving the Cat Protection League a call about putting its picture up on the lost and found section of their website. I don't mind holding on to it, if we can't find who it belongs to, provided it can come to an understanding with Myfi, but still. Important to find out if the owner's out there, since it has a collar.

Still don't know the gender, since it objected very strongly to me picking it up to examine it. But at least it's not so smelly anymore!
