Enmity between the cats! They chased a strange cat out of the garden, tails all bushed up, and then they were suddenly snarling, hissing and growling at each other. I think it was Cassandra who started by growling at Bonadea in the general excitement and confusion of having her territory invaded, and Bonadea responded by hissing, of course. It seems to have calmed down a bit, they have sniffed each other’s noses and aren’t walking stiff-legged around the house any longer; still, they do eye each other with a new wariness which I can only hope will go away. Question: Am I being a silly over-protective human, reacting like this to something that will pass? I notice that Cassandra’s eyes have resumed their normal colour — that has got to be a good sign. . .
