Tomb Raider is settling in at the Hub as if she owns the place, which if you know anything about cats is only right and proper.
I've got in a supply of organic cat food and I have a self-cleaning cat box on order, although she seems to be content to use Myfanwy's nest at present. At first, Myfanwy didn't quite know what to make of her; she was a bit confused as to whether the cat was meant for food, but Tomb Raider set her straight by a bit of hissing and a swipe of claws, and now Myfanwy appears to be rather scared of her. Again, only right and proper.
No, I'm not the least bit concerned about letting her spend time up there alone with John. He only tried to put her down his trousers that one time (he was trying to hatch her like Bebe, or at least that is what I prefer to believe), and she put paid to that right quick! I think John learned his lesson, especially after I cleaned his scratches with rubbing alcohol. Negative reinforcement is a wonderful thing.
Later today I'll take her to the vet for her shots. Since she won't be gone overnight, I expect the emotional trauma on the part of my teammates to be minimal.
