Hello All,
As some of you may know from my other post, I've decided to adopt a beautiful little senior lady named Bobbi (for now - but it seems to fit). She's 7-8 yrs old, very shy, and has been at the shelter with over 100 other cats for more than 4 yrs.
And everyone feel free to chime in here, do you suggest I isolate her in my spare bedroom, or my personal bedroom? I live alone and work full-time (or more), so I was thinking it might be better to have her in my room to get used to my smell (and enable me to keep the litter pan in the bathroom on linoleum), or would the activity of me getting ready for bed be too much?
I called the shelter this morning, and I'm going to visit her tomorrow. I won't be able to bring her home until next weekend, because I'm going out of town Fri and I wouldn't leave her alone that long during the adjustment. But I am SOOO excited about bringing a feline back into my life!!! Thanks for all your advise, and keep it coming!
