Cat Tales #34 The Intruder

So I go into Ferretfingers's room for something and who should I find sitting, bold as brass, on his pyjamas?   
Jessie-cat from No3 (I belive) the cat that isn't our cat.  
It's bad enough she's smothered the succulents in my window box and has to be regularly chased off the cat bowls in the kitchen. It's got to the point where we can't leave the back door open without she sneaks in.
I wonder if her owners know.
I actually had to pull the pyjamas out from under her to get her to move!  She's far too grumpy and growly a cat to pick up and throw out.
Mrs Quilt  She definitely has that warning look in her eye!
Bentonbag  To be fair she's probably wondering if I've got the mister in my hand.   
I've had it set to a thin stream, which goes a long way, and got her with it a few times when she's been bullying my boys in the back garden.   
It would help if the man of the house stopped feeding her - she's got him trained.   
The other day she actually mewed to be let in our back door.
Madame Fifi  She's lovely.
Bentonbag  Madame Fifi: to look at!   
Madame Fifi  You know what I'm like with kitties.  She would win me over, same as the man of the house.   
Mrs Quilt  Madame FifiLook at her eyes!  That's a warning if ever I saw one!
Bentonbag  Every time I sit down one or other of mine wants to sit on me.   
When I lie down in bed trying to do the crossword one of them is always on my chest (makes filling it in a pain) and decides to try and sit on my shoulder so I can't see the paper anyway.  The ginger git sleeps at the foot of the bed, or between us nailing the duvet down, or on the side by my knees so I have to clumber over him to get out for a wee.  The black&white one just wants to sleep on my head, or my face if I'd let him.   
I end up lying in a question mark shape.  No wonder I'm always knackered.  And of course we can't shut the bedroom door or they'd dig the carpet up on the landing.
Madame Fifi  Bliss.  My Oscar used to lie on my head in bed.  He used to wash my hair, it was lovely but I'd end up with a matted clump of saliva guncked hair.  My ladies used to get under the duvet, one under each armpit
Bess Cavalier  Next door's cat spent yesterday afternoon on our spare bed.  As we no longer have our own cat it's not a problem.  She went home when Mrs Nextdoor came home later in the afternoon.

I am reliably informed that Jessie is a male, as in Jessie James.
