You may remember a certain feisty calico called Chatter that did a swap
with my new kitty Cleo?

Well, Chatters adoptive mommy called this morning. I was concerned
because I expected something to be wrong. Instead, she raved on and on
and on about how Chatter was the perfect cat for her elderly mom, how
everyone loved her, how Chatter and her mom were getting on, how I was
never getting her back because they loved her so much, yadda, yadda. I
can't say I'm that suprised because Chatter did an extreme hard sell on
her new mommy when she came to visit, but it's nice to hear all the
same.

What made my day further, was that Cleo (the little cat who came home
because it didn't work out in the home where Chatter went) has overcome
her shyness, and this morning I caught her playing with HRFL Tiger. She
now shares the communal litter box, and we have touchy-noses amongst the
kitty crew. Pandora is still not impressed, but Cleo has started playing
and is like a little elephant charging about the house. Quite different
behaviour to the biting and scratching that she was doing at her
adoptive placement.

I think the cats knew where they were supposed to be, and had to resort
to the mothership intervening!
