We adopted a cat, Beetle, on Sat., Aug. 25, 2015. On the way home he made no noise. Upon arrival, my granddaughter opened the cat carrier and Lunta (Finnish word for “snow” as he is all white) walked out to examine his new kingdom. He was perfectly relaxed and climbed on my son’s lap. Then the dog appeared! They had a nose-to-nose confrontation and decided to mutually ignore each other. That lasted 4 days, they now sleep next to each other 22 hours per day. Lunta has a cat bed, but seems to prefer the foot of my bed. By the way, Lunta earned his keep the first night by catching a mouse – part of the reason we adopted him.
