I thought you'd like an update. We're on day 10, and Polly is now fully integrated. Her chip is registered to the catflap and she's learning how to use it today, with the help of some cooked chicken  :innocent:  :)

She's been wandering in the garden with me every day this week and today was allowed out on her own for the first time :scared: and has been totally at her ease.

She saw our vet yesterday, she's in very good health with perfect teeth and bright eyes, no sign of any problems whatsoever, so for a senior Kittizen, she's in remarkably good shape. So happy for her.  ;D

Two pics - one showing her catual size with a standard pack of dreamies for lunch scale.

The other one showing how much she has adopted our house as her own - the spot on the gate allows her to monitor all the folk coming home from work - and of course keep tabs on the neighbouring kitties.

Purrfection in miniature  :Luv:

Lau, you were spot on about her, she's such a sweetie. OH is utterly in love with her and she sleeps on my pillow each night. Thankfully she so teeny there's room for me too. We've had no reprisals at all from the regulars, which is quite astounding actually!

I hope you are taking some comfort from these pages, Lau. It must be a wrench for you to let these beautiful babies go. We all completely understand though, needs must when the Devil drives :(

Thank you for Polly, she's Golden.  :hug:

Latest pic of our Polly, she's been here four days now, and although she still likes "her" bedroom for a bit of solitude from time to time, she's becoming more confident and happy to explore the house in her own time.  8)

I had her in the garden earlier on the harness - not quite so relaxed but she didn't try to bolt or panic. All good so far.  :shy:

Have discovered she a Prawniac. This pic was taken ten minutes after she scoffed six prawns due to go in my fish pie, and ten minutes before she chucked 'em back up again, followed by a healthy portion of her dinner and some chicken she pinched off Theo.

Talk about fitting right in.... ;D

She's a delight, and OH is delighted too cos he finally has more Brownie Points than I have.

Polly has decided she likes Classic canned food and has polished off a whole can laced with Zylkene so she is properly relaxed tonight.

She was a little stressed in the basket, and due to numerous crashes on the numerous motorways today she was in there for four and a half hours all in. We stopped in the East Midlands for a break and she had a wander around inside the car for 10 minutes, ate a piece of cheese from my sandwich and went back in her box, no bother.

I've got her new cat tree made up which she loves and her new squidgy bed seems to be a hit, but she was dismissive of the ping-pong ball  :shify:

I'll sleep in there with her tonight, and see how she gets on tomorrow (I'm working from home) and we'll start swapping bedding and toys around on Wednesday if she continues the way she's been today.

All in all, I'm in love  :Luv: Thank You Lau, she's just perfect.
