I appreciate the encouragement.. I feel in my heart she's still there, but I understand she doesn't trust me. Time will tell.
As for the cats, the one cat has developed a problem where she pees in the house. We have her locked in the basement and as such so is the other cat. I hate to admit it, but I told her that I didn't want to keep the cats. We were debating on what to do with the one that pees anyway and our carpet upstairs needs to be replaced as it is.
Now we found out yesterday our youngest D has an MRSA Staff infection.. could be from the animals. So this boosted her request to have something done with them.
These were my first cats and it wasn't a good experience.
