I put her back in the box when we were home but she is an escape artist and got out one of the ends anyway! Thank goodness the garage door had closed so I could catch her and take her to one of our bedrooms (dh's office) where I then put her bed, post, litter box, food, water, etc. She is smart...I didn't latch the door 100% and she managed to put her paw under the door & open it. I found her on the couch quite pleased with herself. LOL I brought her back to her room (since they said to keep her separated until she sees the vet for her checkup on Monday at 4pm) I let one of my other cats, Boots, upstairs while the other two were in the basement. Boots sniffed under the door where Salty & I were. She was meowing and seemed upset I was ignoring her to be with this stranger. I opened the door a tiny crack & they hissed at each other. I went out & gave Boots some attention, and then returned to Salty for some TLC. She is sooooo sweet! She's curled up on my lap several times and she loves her post and is eating from time to time. She hasn't taken to her bed yet. I haven't seen her use the litter box yet either. Maybe she's shy...giggle! When I leave the room she cries until I return. We left her alone about 40 minutes while we ran out to do some quick shopping tonight. I came back and now since dh won't let her sleep in our bedroom since he's worried about the other cats catching something from her or visa versa, I'm here in Salty's room with a sleeping bag & I'm gonna sleep with HER. ;-) She's snuggled up to me right now. She's such a sweetheart...I'm so very happy I found her!!! The other cats are sleeping downstairs.
I will post responses to all your wonderful posts tomorrow along with some new photos. Seems she knows when I'm going to take her photo and she goes the other way.....giggle! I hope she'll be ok tomorrow when I'm at work. Thank goodness it's only until 11am. I'll be home by 11:30 and I'll have the rest of the day & weekend with her.
Good night!

Animals are forever - and so is their love.
Awwww, she sounds like she's just made herself right at home already.

Your Daisy is very lucky to have you! She deserves to be spoiled. :-)
When I had my first cat (Missy) she was an only cat and was quite happy that way. When I moved to Britain to study and couldn't take her with me, she moved into my parent's home and grew to love their dachshund Pepper.
I worried a lot about how this would affect my other 3 cats....who grew up together and have been a team for 6 1/2 years. I think poor Boots is feeling insecure. I try to go back & forth spending time in Salty's private room (which I think she has to stay in for a week from what I've read....I'll double check with the vet on that) and then I go spend time with Boots, Patches & Thomie. Now I'm in with Salty & dh Tim is in the other room with our other furbabies. Salty (I'm going to try to find a better name this weekend) is under my sleeping bag now burrowing...LOL She seems content when I'm here with her. When I leave the room for awhile & come back she "scolds" me.
It's nearly midnight so I'll try to sleep in here with her a bit.
Have a great weekend!

Have a great weekend!

Alixx sounds wonderful! My baby Salty is getting better too. She's less scared when I leave the room. Yesterday she ran to the door, now she will lay on the chair and trust me when I tell her I'll be back. She still scolds me in her cute voice when I return, but she's no longer desperately trying to open the door when I leave.
Hope she'll sleep more tonight....last night she climbed up on dh's scanner & other computer equipment and seemed a bit restless.
I'll keep you posted....
Good Night!
Suzy :-)
