Tuga's garden has a fence. She crosses it constantly — over the top, under the gap by the shed, along the wall — and the fence has never once stopped her going anywhere she wanted to go. It does something else, though. It defines whose garden this is...

Anyone who has introduced a second cat to a household knows the protocol, and knows what happens if you skip it. You do not open the carrier in the middle of the room and hope. You take a week. Separate spaces, swapped blankets so each learns the oth...
