A New Visitor Tries His Luck

Was it due to the “vacuum” created when Heidi went missing-in-action for half a day, or was it purely coincidental?
A new cat entered our house compound last night and made himself (I’m assuming he’s a he) very comfortable in the porch.
The surprising thing is that Ginger and Vincent just let him be and did not chase him out.
I heard some unusual noise in the porch and went out to look. The new cat looked a lot like Vincent but seemed to be lighter in colour. I’m not entirely sure as it was at night. In fact, I thought it was Vincent, but he looked younger and his tail was straight.
When the new cat saw me, he got up, walked slowly and hid under the car. He wasn’t nervous at all. Must be a pet cat from down the road who decided he’d pay us a visit OR did he also lose his way and went into the wrong house, as Heidi did?!!!
Ginger was on guard duty, something he doesn’t always do. So I figured he WAS watching the new cat.
Vincent was also watching.
Mr Zurik, who is usually “everywhere”, wasn’t here.
Even Heidi came out to see what was going on.
By the way, after her “rescue” from the wrong house yesterday, she ate three portions of food. She must have been so, so hungry when she spent half a day at the “wrong” house.
Rosie and Heidi, both watching the new cat.
Daffodil was not interested at all.
We are! We are!
Just let us out and we’ll chase the new cat away!!
I couldn’t snap a photo of the new cat, until…
…there he is!
After hours of hard work.
Also, “hours of hard work”, supervising the sewing of a new blanket!
The reason I suspect this new cat could have tried his luck and come into our house because Heidi went missing for half a day is that cats are really very perceptive and fast in sensing these things. When we stayed in our old neighbourhood, Cow and Bunny ruled the entire street and no other cat dared to come into the street for 6 years (during the Cow-Bunny reign, an “empire” of sorts, if you like). But on the very day we moved to this new neighbourhood (we brought all 7 cats over in the morning), by that very evening, when we went back to the old house, new cats were already roaming all over on our street (“The two tyrants are gone, come on out, folks!”).
So yes, cats just know.
And they act very, very fast.
Procrastination is simply NOT in their way of life, unlike humans!
