When we lived near Chester situated between two farms. One of our cats went missing, I was convinced the resident cat, her sister was lonely so after 3 months I get a kitten from the RSPCA. Get the kitten home and resident cat tries to kill her
I go out the back door to get something and missing cat is stood there, very much thinner but delighted to be back.
She came in and went to see her sister who snarled and stormed off to the bedroom, which she viewed as "hers". All might have been well except that the prodigal cat went to see her sister again, this seemed to really unbalance the resident cat. She didn't speak to anybody for about 3 or 4 years, the first thing she did do was to come into the room where we were sitting and sit with her back to us - letting us know we were being ignored!

We took the kitten back to the RSPCA, as the prodigal cat wasn't too fussed on her either, the kitten would have had a very hard time of it.
