Got a new visitor...

A few days ago I was outside on the porch and this little kitty tootled round the corner of the house and headed for Pandora's food bowl... I have no idea where she came from or where her siblings and mother are but she appears to have adopted the house.
She's so tiny, only about 5 weeks old but appears to be able to hold her own perhaps because with her colouring she manages to disappear in the borders of the garden. Mummy Cat is not impressed... she knows its not one of hers and really doesn't see being a surrogate to this little thing... Tortie, as she is now known, has had a few good swipes of Mum so now keeps her distance. Pandora, well, Pandora is being Pandora and thinks this is her newest toy and plays with her all the time... sometimes a little too roughly which brings on a bout of hissing and spitting from the little furry bundle. Here are Pandy and Tortie in my kitchen windowsill... she is becoming more friendly and will now actually let me smooth her without going into a hissy fit.
Pandora went off to the vets today to be spayed so is now feeling a bit rough and trying to come round from the anaesthetic... shame... she looks like a drunk weaving about and falling down. It will be interesting over the next few days as she has to stay indoors for 5 days at least to give the wound a chance to heal...
