Yet another update...
Right, I now have a phone line and it works. I still have no internet, until at least May 21st (dammit!!) and am once again borrowing Jan's computer to do stuff this afternoon.
Teasle 1.0 safely installed and more or less sorted. He responded in the usual "Aaaagh! Run and hide!" way that was expected of him, but allowed me to carry him around and show him the flat. By the end of the afternoon, he knew where the food and water were, and had found the litter tray successfully. Thank heavens for the useful Feliway diffuser that I plugged in, it seemed to calm him down just as it was supposed to.
He's being a noisy little sod, though, especially at about 1.00am, when all things are otherwise quite silent. He's been threatened with mittenhood on several occasions, but that makes not one scrap of difference to him. Friday gave him pause (paws?) for thought, though, as Not only were my decorators finishing things off, but some furniture arrived and Jan came over, so he was a bit flummoxed and hid in my bedroom for the duration.
Meanwhile, my back is still mostly buggered and my pore brane is bung-full.
Back at some point when I get properly online in the comfort of my own abode. Whenever that is...
