I brought Pinky (now named Tess) home from the shelter a few days
before Christmas.  She spends most of her time in the guest room but
isn't hiding.  She's usually on the bed or dresser, though I have
found her under the bed a few times.

I had the gate up for a while, to keep the dogs out of the bedrooms
but lately have not had it up.  The dogs are doing pretty well,
they're curious but not obnoxiously so.  Tess, on the other hand, is
pretty sure she doesn't like them.  She'll lay on the bed and hiss and
swat at them if they dare to put their head near the bed.  I hope in
time she'll come around.

She does fine with my other cat.  There hasn't been any fights between
them.  Sometimes they bop each other on the head.  She's not much for
cuddling on my lap but always rubs up against me for scritches.

I've put up a few pictures of her.  Not sure if they do her coloring
justice.
