The new cat thing is moving forward very slowly. I texted New Cat (name of Pixel)'s ownder over the weekend and she's agreed in principle to bring her to me during the first half of November. I just have to prepare space so that she can be sequestered for the first week or so, then halfway through the week I can swap cat spaces over.

A friend recently got two new cats, bringing them into a space already occupied with her original cat, and they're strangers to each other. It hasn't gone all that well, while we were staying with her, there was an impressive cat fight on the stairs of her small house. Sounded like motorbikes.
