He likes to wake me up at 5AM every morning with his loud meowing. As soon as I serve breakfast, it's quiet again, even though he doesn't eat. No mad dash for the door when I open it; either he's too scared or not anxious to escape.

A couple of the cats are curious about their new housemate, rubbing against the cage and sniffing Scooter. Only Ghost, the older male, has hissed at him. But then Ghost is my resident Old Grouch.
