YAY!

i was looking for a cat "cave" bed for her yesterday on my way home but couldn't find one anywhere (checked pet valu, pj's pets and global pets, to no avail...). anyone know where i could score one of those for her?

re: the balcony, i hear you... seeing that she's clawless i will definitely not let her out unsupervised and in fact, am not going to let her out on there for a bit... she wants to check it out but i think i should wait a bit longer. what do you think? re: getting her a companion, while she's clawless she apparently enjoyed the company of male cats and, more interestingly, DOGS! she's a brave gal for sure. :-)

thanks again fellow cat lovers!

Just because a cat liked one cat, does not mean that a cat would like any other cat. Some cats are extremely social to other cats, some do not like any other cat. Some like particular cats and hate others.

I, personally would try to bring over one of your partner's cats to see how she reacts. That way you will get some idea of her personality before actually adopting one.

I really, really do not like the idea of letting your cat out onto the balcony unless it is closed in. I think that is very risky as they don't reason like humans and don't have the fear of heights.

Glad to hear she is settling in
