Hi,

I would go and see this cat and see if you bond! What harm can it do, you will know instantly if its the right thing to do.

Im not sure what to advise about the Smudge situation. I would want to know the foot is ok too but at the end of the day if they aren't obliging then there isn't much you can do. Im sure the cat will be moaning her head off to be let out by now and Im sure they will get cheesed off with that before too long.

Let us know how you get on. I know I couldn't be without my cats, they are such a big part of my life and the void would be huge without them.

Izzie
