Anyway, am pleased to note that we have a new inhabitant. Ariel joined us about two months ago. She was probably about 6-9 months old at the time. She gets on well with the big boys (that's Orlando in the background of the photo), and is generally quite gentle (no scratching or biting).
Ariel was actually found my neighbor down the road, but his father did not appreciate cats in the house. So, we had to take her in, the poor little thing. Put her up for adopt ion,but although there were a number of enquiries, none of them resulted in adoption. So, it looks like we are keeping her!
It has been a while since we had a young female in the house. And, we were quite punctual in neutering Casey. So we were not prepared for dealing with a little cat in heat. Not prepared for the mewling and crying. Neither were the big boys (all neutered) prepared for her badgering them all the time. Imagine our worry when she disappeared from the back garden just one week before her operation was scheduled. Fortunately we found her the next day, roaming the street outside. She is now safely neutered and the vet reassured us that all will be well.
So welcome to Ariel, our pretty, dainty little feline!
