Felix is now well settled. He seems to have got the hang of the cat flap, which is good. He's an odd wee creature, though. Or maybe it's just our lack of experience with cats that makes him seem so.

Although he's six, he seems very kittenish. Everything is new and exciting and generates lots of snuffly sniffs. He tears about the house, treating no-one with any respect. However, he and Cass both sleep with us and share a sofa. Copper tolerates him but whacked him tonight when he got too familiar (he was trying to play with her tail, the cheek of it!).

He's been helping me wrap presents tonight - mainly playing with the bags, rolling the pen off the table and chasing the scissors.

Last night, I went out late to bring the wheelie bin back from the road end. Tess, Meg and Felix came with me. Last weekend, Felix only went as far as our neighbour' house then waited on the track for the dogs and I to return. Last night, he came right to the end of the track, running along with the dogs, way in front of me. On the way back, I lost sight of him (I was fighting off the dogs, who like to chase and bite the wheelie bin wheels). I went back towards our neighbours' house and there was Felix, nose hard up against the glass door into the kitchen, with Linford, our neighbours' Weimaraner, with his nose hard up to the glass on the other side. No sense, no feeling. Maybe Felix knows Linford is a big softy.

Felix is a wee comic and no mistake. We'll keep you updated with his antics, with photos if we're quick enough. We can't wait for summer, so he can really get outside to explore.
