House Guest Settled

With the passing of my cats, it was rather quiet around here, so last October I visited the cat shelter and adopted Gaia. she is about two years old and was found living wild, but she is used to people and very friendly. Having said that, I guess she has had a stressful time of it and for the first month after moving in, she lived under the bed and only came out at night. Then for the following five weeks, I would catch glimpses of a fast moving shadow as she darted around. The Wednesday after Christmas she made her appearance in the front room and has been very friendly and close ever since. I kept her indoors for three weeks after she joined me, but with her mad half-hours involving bouncing off the walls and furniture and being very chatty, I finally let her outside. On her first day she met CJ, from next door, that went okay, but if he gets too close to our door she gets very territorial. I was expecting that and it should wear off as she gets used to him. She does have double standards and when no one was looking went exploring inside CJ's home!
