I was "rescued" from a house that was much too crowded for me. There were several adult cats and one LARGE dog and they were not always too considerate. Do you have any idea what it's like to be licked by a tongue that's bigger than you are? In fact, I was named Scooter because I spent my first few days "scooting". I scooted under beds, tables, chairs, or out of the room, whenever anybody or anything came near me. (I was so used to being growled, swatted, and hissed at!) However, I soon learned to trust and now I have everything under control. For now I'm easing into my new role by keeping a low profile and agreeing with the females. It's safer that way and it gives them time to adjust to me since new management is always resented at first. I'll let them know who's BOSS - as soon as I can get a word in!
Since I don't care much for sleeping at night, and don't think others should either, the SLEEP page is my favorite.
