Lovely!
I kept my little Cats Protection girl in my dining room for 3 or 4 weeks. - partly because I didn't want her to get out and partly because I had other cats and I wanted them to smell her presence before they met her.The patio doors looked straight on to the rabbit area and she was absolutely agog when she saw them - you know the pictures of meerkats standing bolt upright...
It also meant, of course, that they could observe her.
They had already met my other cats so were absolutely unphased by her when they met. Cats and rabbits were one happy family!
As people know, I adore cats and I hope your new little one brings you much pleasure. One lucky little cat!
