Meet Bates!

Okay, so the day after I returned home, Jud and I took a walk and found this new little friend. She warmed up to us quickly, but we decided to leave her on the brick retaining wall to see if she was still there when we came by again on our way back. And sure enough...she was! We're still not sure if she belongs to anyone, so we're keeping our eye out for signs. But, if no one claims her, for the mean time, we are holding onto her. Surprisingly, her and Olly are getting along. They were both playing with their rafia this morning. So, appropriately, we have named this new little cat, Bates! She looks a little mean, but she is a sweetie...
