The first night went very well. Sydney slept in my arms all night, growling (it was a strange growl, sort of deep but ending "perky", if you know what I mean). She's now back in her room since I can't be there to supervise them. She seemed a bit overwhelmed by everyone but knew I was watching out for her.

So, it looks like I'm up to 9 cats now and definitely HOLDING!!! She'll be spayed in about 3 weeks.
