And she's friendlier than what I thought!
So in June 23 of 2022 (which is still the current year, of course), one of my brothers returned home and had this cat follow him, and I was worried at first because of how I thought that Silver would bother this other cat being at the house so my brother took her and placed her back to the place where she started following him on the streets (it wasn't clear if she was a homeless cat or had escpaed from somewhere)...but the cat returned and was once again at the backyard; any cats can get in from outside (including Silver if he ever gets out for whatever reason) since there are some windows on the outside walls at my home so its not that it was weird that she got back in...but that she decided to in first place.
The picture above is from that night where she got back in the house, and she was definitely distant at first, as she didn't get scared or aggressive if I tried to pet her, but ssimply went away if I tried to, and growled at Silver if he was nearby. Silver was pretty curious about her and that was a surprising relief unlike expecting that the two cats would get agressive against each other, though every time he tried to get close to the cat, she would once again growl.
The next day, I found her literally sleeping on top of my desktop near the keyboard on my computer, and didn't seem to leave anywhere the rest of that day or any of the other days for that matter, also taking her chance to eat alongside Silver and Blacky (the dog that I mentioned before, which is basically ours but sometimes leaves the house and comes back whenever it wants), and while she was still a bit shy at first, as of today she is much calmer and sometimes I have chances to pet her for a while (though she still gets away if I try to get close to her hastily), as well as not getting angry with Silver being nearby as often as the first few days. Oh, and her name? That name was given by my brother (the one that was followed by the cat) because of she had the same colors as a McFlurry.
So...yeah, so far the cat has been staying here as another companion to us, as well as maybe a good friend to Silver with enough time, though only time will tell if she will be staying here or if we will be giving her to someone else to take care about because of concerns like being able to keep up with two cats (as well as their litter), but at least she has been comfy these days at our home.

¡Y es más amigable de lo que pensaba!
Así que el 23 de junio de 2022 (que sigue siendo el año actual, por supuesto), uno de mis hermanos regresó a casa e hizo que esta gata le siguiera, y yo me preocupé al principio por lo que pensé que Silver molestaría a esta otra gata estando en la casa, así que mi hermano la cogió y la devolvió al lugar donde empezó a seguirle en la calle (no estaba claro si era una gata sin hogar o se había escapado de algún sitio). ..pero la gata volvió y estuvo de nuevo en el patio trasero; cualquier gato puede entrar desde fuera (incluido Silver si alguna vez sale por cualquier motivo) ya que hay algunas ventanas en las paredes exteriores de mi casa así que no es que fuera raro que volviera a entrar...sino que lo decidiera en primer lugar.
La foto de arriba es de esa noche en la que volvió a entrar en casa, y definitivamente estaba distante al principio, ya que no se asustaba ni se ponía agresiva si intentaba acariciarla, sino que simplemente se alejaba si lo intentaba, y gruñía a Silver si estaba cerca. Silver se mostraba bastante curioso con ella y eso fue un sorprendente alivio, a diferencia de lo que se esperaba que los dos gatos se volvieran agresivos el uno con el otro, aunque cada vez que intentaba acercarse a la gata, ella volvía a gruñir.
Al día siguiente, la encontré literalmente durmiendo encima de mi escritorio, cerca del teclado de mi ordenador, y no pareció salir de ningún sitio el resto de ese día ni ninguno de los demás, aprovechando también para comer junto a Silver y Blacky (el perro que ya he mencionado, que es básicamente nuestro pero a veces sale de la casa y vuelve cuando quiere), y aunque al principio seguía siendo un poco tímida, a partir de hoy está mucho más tranquila y a veces tengo oportunidad de acariciarla un rato (aunque todavía se aleja si intento acercarme a ella precipitadamente), además de no enfadarse con Silver estando cerca tan a menudo como los primeros días. Ah, ¿y su nombre? Ese nombre se lo puso mi hermano (el que seguía el gato) porque tenía los mismos colores que un McFlurry.
Así que... sí, hasta ahora la gata se ha quedado aquí como una compañera más para nosotros, así como tal vez una buena amiga para Silver con el tiempo suficiente, aunque sólo el tiempo dirá si se quedará aquí o si se la daremos a alguien más para que la cuide por preocupaciones como poder mantener a dos gatos (así como su camada), pero al menos ha estado cómoda estos días en nuestra casa.
