Abandoned and escaped guinea pigs demonstrate their rodent heritage and locate and adapt suitable quarters almost in the wild, but not quite.

KitBots are smaller versions of the robotic CatBots, organised by the Space Lynxes, whose intergalactic mission is to visit planets holding representatives of Feline life, to check on their well-being.

I imagined cats, both domestic and feral, organising groups of special interest, to broaden their horizons, meeting with cats of a similar mind and disposition and arranging trips out with their friends and acquaintances. This particular society, which is so popular that subsets or chapters are arranged to cater for the numbers applying, specialises in visits where, with neat pre-planning, the felines can re-enact historical moments of significance.

Dealing with stray cats is often difficult, and when the family are cat lovers, they invariably think about how best to help. The first consideration is the overall extra costs incurred. The second is whether the stray can be introduced successfully with the resident cat family. The third is the complexity identified when the "stray" actually has a home, but their people are not fully in tune with the feline requirements for Pussy Cat happiness.
