WOW - certainly sounds like HUGE, giant strides and that Asha is fitting in perfectly with her new fur-family. The low growls are completely to be expected. Females are very good at those. :lol3: I have one, Perla, and she still growls at Wendall after four years.
He can't (or isn't allowed 
) to come to close to her, the rincess:. TOTALLY!!!! :bigthumb:
I feel very lucky that introductions have been so smooth. I think it helps that my two boys (Pixie the greyhound and Shadow) are some of the most laid back animals I've ever encountered :lol3: The labrador is more boisterous, but has been trained to within an inch of her life - she still starts a naughty act, but can be prevented from the follow through!
:lol3: at Perla and Wendall...I have a feeling that Miss Asha (or Princess Asha as my mum calls her) will be ruling the roost here before too long
rincess: ASHA !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 
) I just can't help myself sometimes by foreseeing ahead to possible issues and feeling the need to address and caution.
I can't make the vet operate before she's happy to (nor would I want to, but I think she's almost ready. As there's approx a 10-14 day wait for non emergency surgery I think our timing's going to be about right.
:cross: that the lump is nothing serious. Spay surgeries are a good time for an overall inspection of anything worrisome.
:lol3: I love that. Very amusing indeed. So many times I have missed funny antics and surprising events by not having my phone with me to get a picture or video.
Oh
........ :rofl: That is priceless.
for a good report from the vet on Monday!!!!! Do keep us posted! Things surely are going so well and I am certain that they will continue. :cross: 
Dogs are kinda like that, I'm not surprised.
). I think I'll just have to camp out by the box for a bit
, have never really had litter box mishaps..... unless it was a urinary health issue. It works really, really well for us anyway. That way, you are adding more boxes BUT keeping them close so your mum may be more accepting of this rather than adding another box in a completely different location. This give Shadow AND Asha two choices of a box to use. Keep the cover on Shadow's box but add an open style box - large - next to it. Hopefully your mum will agree and be willing to give this a go. :cross: 
) and Shadow, now 13). In uk it's standard for all cats to be indoor/outdoor...to the extent that the vast majority of shelters will not adopt out to someone who refuses outdoor access! So, whilst we've always had one box somewhere, it's never had the same kind of use as it has in the last 13 years (yes, I know it's a long time, but mum is very set in her ways of thinking). The only reason we switched to indoor only is because the road we live on has become increasingly busy and we've seen too many cats die on it to take the risk once we had new kittens that weren't used to a lot of outside access (as opposed to our original gang, most of which moved in off the street and varied from long standing strays to an immature feral). Mum grew up with lots of cats, and her approach is very much shaped by her mother's. (I will say,the whole of my mother's side of thefamily are wonderful with cats - they're just a little more old fashioned in approach).
