All good signs I think but I've not had cats before. They've looked at the litter trays but not used them yet. They're 6 yr old siblings (boy and girl) whose previous owner relinquished them when they went into care.

He has just woken us to say he had 2 cats under his bed but they've gone back downstairs now. His door is wedged shut to prevent return but I think Bib and Boba are getting settled in nicely with a bit of nocturnal exploration of the hall, stairs and landing!!! We have catnip toys and some fishing rod type toys to try out tomorrow. Thanks for the lovely reassurance. I'm sure they'll start using their litter trays soon.

She found a space that I didn't know existed behind a kitchen cupboard and didn't come out for about 12 hours. We even rang the rescue centre to say we thought she'd run away She now rules this house!
