We are going to see how well they can be introduced (she has stitches in at the mo so is separate) and then Baz has asked if I'd like to keep her. Well she is only half a cat size wise lol. We'll see, I'm not sure yet as obviously a big decision and I should use my head not my heart. But she's so lovely. Small and very placid and creeps up onto my pillow for cuddles through the night. Just all depends on how she gets on with the other two really. If I was her I'd never want another bloke near me again lol.
