The little cat is missing her family who are on holiday so really enjoyed having her tummy tickled.  In August when we looked after her for ten days she was very nervous and we spent ages each morning pulling out beds to put her outside and then trying to attract her in each evening.  Now as she can use a cat flap to go in (but not out) it is easy and so far we have not found any mice to remove. She is a very good hunter and apparently has brought in 21 to the house recently. When we go in to feed her we are now greeted enthusiastically.
