Conflict

As established yesterday, Madeleine is home.  She lost no time launching out of the carrier and getting right back into the swing of things. 

 Lily and Erin had to sniff around her a little bit before they got it, but she was patient.  Riley is the least excited about The Return, but she and Maddie have always had a hissy kind of relationship.

Rupert?  Rupert's pretty much, "Oh, was someone gone?"

"Yeah, buddy --- Madeleine."

"But she's okay now, right?  Cool."

The feeding schedule is already proving tricky.  Who eats where, so Maddie can't get into the "normal" food.  Feeding only twice a day, 12 hours apart, to cats who have free-fed all their lives.  Lots of meowing going on.  The three sisters are not happy.
