We have a new member in our family.
This is Daria (named after Mrs Nicolodi, not the 90s MTV cartoon lol). She is a local barn cat that started coming onto our property this winter. We noticed she wasn't walking on her front right paw, she was holding it up like it was injured. It took us a week or two to finally trap her and brought her into a local shelter to have her checked out. Unfortunately she had to have her arm amputated, we felt she would have a better life indoors being less mobile. So we have given her a home, she's between 1-3, we've been given different ages so we don't really know.
We have kept her in our bathroom to shortly introduce her to our home and existing cat, Beast. She's very funny, keeps to herself most of the day, sleeping in her multi level cage, at night she is very active and makes noises similar to a fox. At about 8pm she wants attention from us, she comes to the gate and makes kind of meow noises, where we play with her and pet her. She's very aggressive with her head butts, she loves attention at this time. We have started to let her out to explore the house little bits are a time. Hoping she enjoys it here, she wants attention from Beast really bad but he's still unsure of her, he's been an only cat his whole life.
Here's a pic of her, she's very serious looking here lol
She doesn't seem to mind the music playing during the day so that's a good sign
And we can't leave out Beast
