Hi all,
I have 5 barn cats, but this is the 1st time I'm keeping one in the house. We found 2 kittens in the barn about 6 wks ago. Long story short, I couldn't leave them there, so I brought them into the house due to cold weather. My daughter took one, and I was going to keep the other one in the back bedroom till she grew alittle more. Turned out they were 5 months old and only weighed 3 lbs. Smoke is so small that we decided we couldn't put her back out even tho she was ear tagged and spayed. So...she now stays inside with us. I have 4 dogs that would love to have her for lunch, (main menu)
. Well, I now keep the door open so she can come thru the kiddy gate and join us if she wants. One of the things she does is to sit on the other side of the gate and just meow, meow, meow. Yet when I go to hold her, she runs and hides. I've taken to holding her on my chest at night when I watch tv, and she seems to love it. I do close her in at night so I can sleep, as the dogs would be up and down all nite. I have to admit, the few times she stops running and turns on the dogs, they slink away from her. She also has a habit of THROWING herself on her side when she wants attention. I don't mean rolling, she throws herself with such force that you can feel it thru the floor. What is she trying to tell me when she meow so much? why does she throw herself on the floor on her side? I never liked cats, but now I'm becoming the crazy cat person. I've been taken over by her.

ps. she is a beautiful dulited calico.
