Bobby's Auntie Ellen had told me she started feeding a cat about a month ago. She didn't want another cat as she's got a dog.
Today at tennis and lunch she told me sh's let the cat move into the garage. She insisted the kitty isn't moving in, because of the dog, it's too skittish, and it doesn't use a litter box. When she was on the way to drop me off, she asked if I wanted to come meet Abby. Well, of course I did!!!
Abby lookd like she's about maybe 12 weeks old and is a diluted tortie. She's so cute!! She'd been sleeping and was nice and sleepy. I held her for about 20 minutes and she purred up a storm!
At one point, Ellen was going out to walk the dog and I walked over with the kitten. The dog sniffed and wagged his tail and Abby sniffed and at one point tentatively tried to bump him on the head with a paw. Ellen was surprised it went so well.
As for the litterbox issue, I told her to try Cat Attract and that hopefully that'll work. She says there's no way she's letting the kitten in the house if she's not using the litter box, so hopefully that'll help.
When she dropped me off at home, she and her daughter came in to say hi to Bobby. They left with a kitty condo, a catnip mouse, a scratch pad and a round chase-the-mouse toy that they just told me now was a big hit.
I have a feeling my new niece will be moving in shortly........ :)
