AMEN BROTHER!!!! ROFLMBAO!!!!! I do have one dog that knows when the ice chest opens and the B wants the very first drink of a Frosty Beverage.. She will dance for Beer...LOL OH and the bathroom thing... yep got one of those as well...Too funny Thanks for sharing!!! Kylie

I've ordered two of them so I'll know soon how they do. My cats don't leave my fenced in yard so there're pretty safe from anything chasing them. I think if it's the only way they can go outside they should put up with it.

You are all wonderful - thank you for your responses! This forum always amazes me. Bestyears - thanks for pointing out the hand feeding. I will do that for sure. I think one kitty is good for us with the dog but maybe once he passes, another kitty might be in order. I can see how people adopt mucltiple cats. They are so much easier than dogs. (But I adore my dog) :) Busybee - I did not know that about the purring. I hope she wasn't purring at the shelter because she was stressed although I am sure it is possible. She purrs when she eats and plays so I think that's a happy purr. Aunjen - how kind of you to adopt feral cats! I would want to love on them too. I agree that no matter her disposition, we will love her and it will be a rewarding relationship. Thank you. teacats - I will use all of your suggestions. Chijim - She is doing a lot better with my husband - I think it is going to be fine. I have had him feed her. He has taught her to drink water from the faucet. So, they're bonding. My 16 year old son is the next one who needs to feed her. Kiki - really good information - I am going to get her some treats today and start with the rewards immediately! It makes sense about the hands. She does let me pet her - when she's in the mood. I am really gentle with her and try to avoid sudden movements. I also pick her up when she lets me hoping that she will get used to it. I put her down right away once I sense she's had enough. HIIWTHI - more reassurance - thank you and thank you for the kind words. I'm glad I did too even if the adjustment takes a bit longer. There were beautiful cats at the shelter that had been there for 2 years. That would really be a tough adjustment! Thank you again. You have helped so much! Dawn

OMG. Now I want that spotted tummy kitten. ETA: I have the kitty tub already. One of the tiled baths in this 1955 house has a soft yellow 34" cast iron/porcelain tub. Its a conversation starter, and perfect for kittens, puppies, babies.
