number Digby was brought in to a house with 2 long standing cats, and where a beloved one had recently died. He was one of 4 that came from the same house (their owner had sadly died). As mentioned the first couple of days were a bit fraught (he behaved as if auditioning for the sounds in the Exorcist). Half way through the first evening Mr P announced that he couldn't/wouldn't put up with it, the cat was to be taken back the next morning etc.
Now? Maurice treats him like a slightly mentally deficient younger brother, Lily tries to flirt with him this involves occasional hissing, which in this instance is the feline equivalent of the sort of playground tactics used by pubescent girls) and Mr P spoils him rotten, letting him do things that the others aren't allowed to, and when he phones home (Mr P that is not Digby, he's not allowed a phone yet or money for a pay phone) after asking how I am, his next question is "How's Digby?"
