I think both. The garden seems to be rife with them.

One good thing about having an elderly housecat, who doesn't go outside since he was chased by a fox* and whose litter tray offerings are frequent and malodorous, is the lack of 'presents'.

heckling from the back!
hahahahaha !
Poor Beauty.
Bella the collie has just jumped from one end of the sofa, to the other - but over the night-time basket, which still had Beauty "asleep" in it - "sadly" Bella's tail wacked Beauty upside her head in the process.
All Beauty did was duck her head and hunch her shoulders - no hissing, nor running off - poor dear, I've just spent several minutes getting loudly purred at, in exchange for rubbing the back of her neck and head / ears, plus a few strokes down the back and to her tail end.
If only we had filmed that !

"We're only watching the microwave because we want to hear it go ping at the end. We're not in the slightest bit interested in that juicy, tender, aromatic chicken casserole you're heating up in there. Honest!"
Do they both enjoy the brush?Still snuggled.

They both absolutely love being combed, thanks.
They have been interacting so well together over the long weekend I've been off that I've left them together today, with the lobby door open so Sgarba can retreat to her space if she needs to. She is still using the second litter tray occasionally, so I've left that in place for now.
I've also scattered a few little bits of pissy cat litter in a few spots in the garden where I've seen the Rats going about, which I hope will give them the hint that there are new top-level predators in town!

if you've got the space for it, may be worth keeping it on - in case the two of them have a territorial argument later on and the only tray ends up in disputed territory.
the two mogs i lived with were ok with having one tray - as they were free range, they tended only to use it on very rare occasions.

Not really or not unless I open the spare bedroom, which I've kept them out of so far. I was hoping they would adjust to using the large/air filtered litter box as my previous cats did and for a few days they seemed to be managing. The old cats were also more outdoors of course and one wouldn't need to use the box for months on end, she pretty much only used it in winter when she got older and stopped spending her summers almost entirely outdoors.
It may be just that Sgarba is still a bit too small to easily push its door open but at the rate she's going, that won't be a problem much longer - she has been trying!
I had a work break today, and went upstairs to check how my housemate was getting on with his own agenda. Lying on the spare room bed I sat down next to him ready for a quick cuddle, but I must've caught my foot against the carpet, as he bolted out to the landing.
However after a full 30 seconds of deep and profound consideration of his options, he walked to my bedroom, jumped up on my bed and resumed where he'd left off.

Cat negotiations have started. The system seems to be they offer you one at a time and you say yes or no.
The first was very sweet and affectionate in pics/video but a no and I'm finding the conversation very difficult.
I've tried to explain that I don't want just a standard South London moggy who needs a home as I've done that twice but I'm not sure it's been heard.

If you're looking for something specific, have you tried breed-specific rescues?
The one I know of (being a breed I am into ofc) is the Siamese Welfare Trust, they rehome cats Homes wanted - I mean that might not be for you as Siams/Oris require a lot a lot of attention and are the opposite of a relaxed do their own thing sort of cat, but there are similar organisations for other breeds. A lot of pedigree cats (unless they have been abandoned outdoors to become strays) will not be used to going outside and for those it is fine for them to continue to be indoor cats if a nearby road is an issue.
Found a whole list of breed-specific rescues and welfare organisations in the UK in case that helps:
Cat Rescue Centres UK - Pedigree Cats - Adopt a Cat - Cat Chat
Pedigree Cat Rescue and Rehoming Centres. Pedigree Cats for adoption at cat breeds rehoming organisations across the UK. Persian, Siamese, Bengal, Burmese, Ragdoll and other pedigree breeds needing homes. Adopt don’t Buy!
(Also apologies if we've discussed your feline wishes and requirements before and I've forgotten some details
I just want to say there's nothing wrong with wanting a particular type of cat - indoor, outdoor, pedigree of a particular breed, moggy, kitten, young adult, senior, healthy, with some health challenges or disability, affectionate, aloof, any particular characteristic - don't feel bad if you turn down some to find the right fit for you.)

Sorry to hear that
Kittens are cute but they are also a fucking nightmare tbf. People should be fully prepared to take on a years worth of wanton destruction before they start to calm down a bit.
Are you trying to talk yourself out of a third right now? I'd be tempted, 3 kittens isn't that much more bother than 2 kittens. (Vet bills when they get old can be bad though, even with insurance so worth considering whether you are likely to be able to afford x number of cats going through age-related health conditions in 15 years time).
