We seem to have got ourselves a new cat!

Met him at the vets last night whilst collecting a bag of food. He was brought in a stray by the Cats Protection League, had been left by his owners who emmigrated and was being fed by a neighbour… (grrr! - don’t get me started!!)

Now I’ve always wanted a ginger & white called Harry. And when I heard this poor chap (who’s somewhere between 8 and 10 and therefore not so easy to re-home) was a ginger and white, well I had to at least meet him…

Then this evening Chris came to meet him, alongwith Button. We know from previous introductions that Pickle would hate him on site and Eric would be fine, and as part of the wish to have a fourth cat was to give Button a buddy since the other two chummed up, we took her along to test the waters.

The waters are not deep and stormy, but nor are they shallow and tinkly. We were all four in a room for about an hour, there was a little hissing and growling, but not as much as I might have anticipated. So we took a deep breath and nodded at each other.

Harry joins his new family this Sunday!
