Blessed with ignorance, our rather large cat, an Australian short-hair-Maine Coone cross (so she tells us!), has cruised her way through the global pandemic blissfully unaware of the chaos around her, spending time exploring, protecting and defending her new territory. She has made herself very unpopular with all the other local cats. She hates them and they hate her! There is a distinct lack of entente cordiale in these French-Australian relationships! Whenever another cat strays onto her kitchen windowsill she emits a low rumbling growl and flings herself at it with wild abandon - safely protected by the window in between of course!
She is about twice the size of the petite and delicate local cats, but she is outnumbered by them by about 12 to one! These odds make her reluctant to go outside when they are on the prowl but happily she has a number of comfy and not so comfy indoor resting places - she's recently taken over a wooden chopping board, using it to sharpen her claws but also to sleep on! No point spending lots of money on accessories for this kitty - her favourite toys are straws, and she completely ignores the scratching post and rechargeable flapping fish we bought her for Xmas! Aaahh, but she's worth it!

Stand off! She looks like a giant!
