I had too many photos for one post. I spotted these lovely dandelion heads just outside a fire escape and got myself locked out briefly!

My camera is a Canon Powershot SX620 and I used the "Creative shot" setting. The camera did the rest.

This was taken a few hours after Harry came to live with me. He was 7 weeks old. It was love at first sight.

Not a very good photo, but it is rare they are all on the tree together.

It took 10 minutes to catch Harry and my friend and I had to push Harry into the carrier between us. I grabbed him and she helped me get him in as he is so strong.

I was pleasantly surprised at the vet's to find they now have a proper cat waiting area and provide towels to cover the carriers. That calmed Harry down and he nuzzled my finger when I put it through the bars.

We had a long wait as vet Lorna had an emergency, my friend left me to run another errand. I watched when a man brought in a tiny little lost dog. It was chipped but the phone number was no longer in use, so they were trying sending an e mail. The little dog remained at the vets'.

I was then called and the vet carried Harry into her consulting room for me. She said he was in good health and had lost 4 grams instead of getting ever larger, so cutting back on dry food must be working. They still have as much wet food as they want. Harry had his vaccinations and a worming pill and was checked for fleas and found not to have any.

We were out of the house an hour and a half. I took the older ones out when we got home and to my relief, Harry was his usual loving self and not angry with me. Poor Filipos yowled at having to stay indoors.

I was reading rather a worrying article claiming that when cats reached social maturity aged 2-4 years they may not get along anymore and become very territorial and might spray and fight even if neutered.

Do any of you with multiple cats have that issue? Harry is more solitary now he is older, but still gets on with the others. He only occasionally snuggles with one of the others now, usually Thomas Leo. He still helps the others groom their ears.

Reuben is nearly two, Thomas Leo one and Filipos 11 months. I so hope they will continue to get along as they are such a happy group at the moment. Thomas Leo is so gentle,it is hard to imagine him ever territorial, Reuben can be a bit, Filipos is ultra confident but defers if the older ones want him too.

Usually just the three younger ones use the cat tree.
