Spare room prepped for new foster, for the next few weeks.

(We have to keep her entirely separate from Napoleon, obviously)

Guest spotted!

Very young and small for her age. Managed to survive a pregnancy on the street, before being trapped and now neutered. Cared for lovingly by a fosterer before us. Seems more chill than Napoleon was.

Possibly an expelled kitten or stray, rather than feral.

FULL DISCLOSURE: Depending on how she is with us, we may adopt. Tbh once you've got one cat, you might as well have two.

Depends also on whether we feel she'd be okay with Napoleo (and him with her) based on personality, as obvs. We can't introduce them before deciding.

(Because that's not how fostering works. You have to do it properly or not at all)

Anyway. I have yet to decide what I will read to her at lunchtimes. Need to have a think.

Shame there are no good English language books about Queen Louise of Prussia. 😆

Obviously Napoleon is monitoring this situation intensely.

Because who doesn't love a sock filled with valerian root?

You can get an idea of the size of her from that video btw. Tiny, like Napoleon.

How she survived having kittens so young and small is incredible. Tough little kitty.

Meanwhile downstairs I am being very thoroughly cleaned. I suspect because we saw a kitty cage in the hall earlier and he wishes to make sure I know whose property I am.

Napoleon has gone to bed, and now #notMyCat has turned up and is lecturing me on how I didn't need more cats.
