That question has now been answered.
Yesterday, we took Mushroom the cat to our local vet to get her microchipped and vaccinated. I guess that makes her officially ours.
To refresh your memory, a couple of months ago we found Mushroom wandering around our property super-skinny and probably near death. We fed her and she stayed with us. We put up ads for her on Lost Pet and at the vets nearby. But nobody claimed her.
Over the past two months our other two cats, Maggie and Kitty, have gradually got used to Mushroom being around. Things are mostly okay between the three of them now, other than the occasional small hiss if one surprises another around a corner.
At night we bring all three cats inside the house (the recommended thing to do, for the sake of the native wildlife). When we go to bed Mushroom goes in the bathroom, while the other two cats have the run of the house.
With the new microchip, Mushroom also got the key to the catflap. Our smart catflap now reads Mushroom's chip, and lets her in and out. So far she only goes in and out when we push her through, but hopefully she is smart enough to quickly learn to do it herself.
