She is gorgeous. Such amazing markings! I'll show Sarah your post, she'll love it.
They are getting there, but I worry about 1 eye, as she has always been an outside cat. She's now got a trouble free life, but we worry she may think we're imprisoning here - no letting her outside either ATM, due to her ops. All litter tray trained, which is a good thing. In the bungalow in Greece, which we needed to keep her in on the last night, she pissed on the mattress, before we left it was swiftly rotated 180deg. Don't tell them, we wouldn't mind going back again!
My best friend also had a Molly cat.
The local vet suspects one eye is inbreed. She has a deformed bone on her chest between her two front legs, which worried us a bit. The vet suspects it's a random defect from her mum and dad being related.
Next step, get them used to the three dogs, and vice versa..... wish us luck.

Molly pissed on our bed a number of times as she was too nervous to go anywhere more public I think (we kept them inside for close to 6 months in the end as they were so anxious about life in general and we were worried they'd run away if they weren't totally settled in the house first). She also did a poo on the floor by my side of the bed and buried it with my clothes - that'll teach me to leave stuff lying on the floor I guess.
Fortunately we're far past that stage now but it was very stressful for a while and we still have a lovely thick weave rug wrapped up in the roof that we've cleaned and aired many times now but it still has a slight hint of cat wee to it as it was used many times before we realised as it just soaked up the smell - nice. Too nice to get rid of but too cat wee smelly to use, first world problems.
Also, Melania is only 4-5 months old, and has a thing for catching toes. At 4am. When you've been on the coping juice the night before. Send. Her. Back. To. Greece. NOW!!

Happiness is a bed full of rescue cats... 
When I first got Wilson - our 50KG Dobe x Viz, I let him on my bed, as I had a sense he needed the comforting, to feel at home. Then the little b
d figured out how to open door handles. It's door knobs all around now! My favourite breed is also rescue. Up to 5, and told her that's it!
