Hat is not scared of Max anymore. They are not exactly chums, but Hat doesn't run away when Max appears.

Last night Mera came at 11pm for supper. He kept shaking his bells outside to get my attention.

Then Hat came.

Of course Mera wanted to attack him. So I had to carry Hat onto the bookshelves, while Max slep in his basket.

Hat was worried initially, then he fell asleep. Max had a long night, so he slept soundly.

There were cats fighting outside at dawn.
