She hasn't tried to 'escape' since the last time - guess she realized it's
nicer inside (and warmer, too, we've been getting down into the 40's F at
night). She didn't want to get into the carrier - mainly because Ping was
already in there (IT'S A BOX!!!!!), but once I got Ping out, it was much
easier.

She tested negative for FIV/FELV, and does have dirty ears, but no ear
mites. They shaved her belly and found a spay scar, so I did a bit of a
happy dance at that. Weight is 7.5lbs - she's a little cat, like Ivy was.
She got her shots & goes back in 3 weeks for boosters (unless we find her
original slaves).

Miss Priss ignores all other cats - it's like SHE's the only cat. Unless
one gets too close, then it's growly-hissy time. And the others act the
same toward her, except Moe, who just p;lain avoids her. I guess she was an
only pet before, but she will soon learn that Lizzie is boss in this house -
that's something I'm keeping my eye's peeled for as Miss Priss is declawed,
and Lizzie is not.

DH couldn't find her this morning when he went to leave for work, but there
she was, sitting right there at a food dish, having a snack - silly DH :D

Still no word for her previous owners :(

I'm thinking she was dumped :(

I love Ping. He's such a little goofball. ;)

Grrrrrrrrrr. Sounds like she's doing well, though.

She sounds like such a good cat. I hope that she has a forever home soon,
either with you (hey, what's one more .... well, that's what WE always said)
or a good meowmie and paw nearby.

Ping is a funny kitty! Loves the carrier, eh?

Good news on all fronts! I like that. Weebs girlfriend checked out clean,
too, although they did clean her ears with some swabs.

Oh, I think Miss Priss will pretty much stand her own ground and Lizzie
won't use her claws. OTOH, what is that saying? Lizzie Bordon took an axe
and gave her mother 40 whacks. When she saw what she had done, she gave her
father 41. Of course Lizzie was never convicted...

Where else would she be?!

I'm thinking so, too. I hope you can either rehome her or keep her. She's
a beauty.
