She's extremely bossy & rather loud in giving her opinion; she smacked Madame le Dog in the face the other day, for getting in her way as she went through the door. Madame Le Dog was in shock for a while...Wouldn’t be surprised if madame Le cat has Abby in her DNA - the two that I had were so athletic and strong - one killed our battery he rescues just for sport - we had two Rottweilers - old softies when we had the first one but the cat would have them tucking their bums in and fleeing for safety - Abbys are so intelligent you can train them like a dog - ours both loved playing fetch they would proudly drop the ball at your feet
That's tough about the Fluffy one - it seems a bit mean especially if the employer knows Fluffy one doesn't cope well in doggy day care or alone at home.Perhps a friend who loves dogs might look after the Fluffy one during the day?
Gorgeous rose, lovely colour.
Supposed to rain later so got front lawn done, not a drop so far so hung a bit of washing out - any minute now no doubt.
She IS rather hefty, roughly the weight of any two normal cats. And she's definitely quite athletic, too.
As to the 'you can train them' - I suspect not in this case. The only training being done is of me, by her....
She wasn't best pleased today when I was a few minutes late with her dinner. There was some very loud yowling at the door, pointing out that dinner was in fact due 4 minutes ago..

Probably a librarian in a past life. Came back as a pampered cat as a reward...
in order to be old & wise, you must first be young & stupid. (I'm still working on that.)
