New Cat on the Block

One of the families on the compound is leaving this week and has had Lexie for a couple of years. Lexy didn't have a good start in life as she got trapped in the compound security gates and lost half her tail and toes on one paw a couple of years ago. She's a bit of a freaky cat as she hisses, spits and makes an odd noise and walks with a tic, usually with her right front leg flicking. Anyway it was thought that she would be far too stressed (as she has psycological problems too) to make it to the new compound in Abu Dabi so I offered to give her a home.

Lexy came to stay this morning and has spent most of her time in the downstairs toilet. She came out for an hour and was happy enough, mewing and coming over for a bit of a stroke. Then all of a sudden she went off on one. She's back in the toilet after a bit of a struggle getting her into her cage. Didn't want to let the kids come home to the scene nor want them trying to catch her and being ripped to shreds. Not too sure that Lexy likes being here just yet, but we'll see how she gets on. Trouble is Scamp has to come home too yet, so after her performance this morning I'm sure she's not going to like him very much either.

Anyway, here's Lexy.. hopefully she'll be a little more relaxed in the next picture.
