She's called Izzy and is a tortoiseshell and white shorthair. I'll do a photo when I get a chance - Bonzi of course doesn't know yet that there's a another female here to nag him, but he'll find out when he gets home. She's busy (I know busy Izzy but I didn't name her) exploring the place. I hope within a few days they'll have settled down together without blood on the ceiling.
She's a rescue cat who suffered head injuries in a road accident yet still managed to carry three kittens and birth them, so she's made of tough stuff. They've been homed and I've adopted the mother. We think she's a year or two old at most. She's very affectionate and nosy.

How Like Cathy You Are Angharad, :)
But then again, I have taken in strays and they adopted me. But I have pups, not cats.

This could be interesting :)
So, will Izzy distract Bonzi from authoring 'your' stories, or will she have a go herself? :)

Congratulations
Congratulations on the new girl in the household :)
When Bonzi gets home and you tell him her name
he'll probably ask, "Well, Izzy or isn't she?" And you'll have the perfect title for the world's first feline transgender story.
Or second I suppose, if you count SNAFU.
Hope they get along well! I'm really looking forward to the day when I can have cats in my life again.
Where is Bonzi anyway, out of curiosity? (my cat-like nature showing through)
Bonzi & Izzy update
They have now met accompanied by some growling and spitting, however, no physical contact or attempt at attack. Bonzi is probably half as big again as his new housemate, and twice as frightened. He's gone out - he spends most of his time outdoors. Izzy, we have to keep indoors for a week or two until she settles in - or eats us out of house and home - appetite - ye gods!

Hopefully they'll settle
Hopefully they'll settle down and get to like each other. *Sighs* I wish I could have cats! Allergies really suck, especially when paired with asthma! :(

Glad to hear that Bonzi has company for when you are slaving over a hot keyboard.
This wouldn't by chance have anything to do with Sooty, or Fascinating Aida, would it?
For our overseas friends, Sooty is a puppet, popular on television in nineteen hundred and frozen-to-death. The phrase 'Izzy Whizzy, let's get busy' comes readily to mind.
Fascinating Aida was a hilariously satirical vocal trio, which included a transwoman, and was popular in the 1990's.
You're doing an angel's work
You're doing an angel's work by taking Izzy in, and I'm sure Bonzi will come around.
It's good for him to have a friend of the same species!

Reality is a nice concept - but it doesn't hold up to close examination.
