Jean, it usually takes cats a few days to get used to their new surroundings, maybe even a week. We have three felines in our household and they are pretty much in charge.

As a rule cats are not nearly as affectionate as a dog, but my precious baby, Sebastian is the most loveable cat. He is a Cameo Persian and actually thinks he's a dog. He greats me at the door when I come home and is excited to see me, stands on his hind legs and stretches for me to pick him up, and lays across my chest when I am in my chair watching TV. He also loves for our guests to pay attention to him. He even waves goodbye to our guests when they leave. No, really!

Figaro, who is Diana's cat, is a really long striped Tabby. I have never seen a tail as long on any cat before. He was born outside at one of our models and still loves to be outside, but only to come and go as HE pleases. In fact, we have door levers on our doors and if the door is unlocked, he reaches up and opens the door to go outside. Close the door behind him and he cries to come back inside. He is so strong that if you try to hold him and he doesn't want to be held, you would have a hard time holding onto him.

Then there is Tabitha. She is our little old cantankerous Tabby! She lets everybody know that this is her domain. She is the first one to eat, the first one to get treats, and nobody messes with Tabitha!!! When she wants petted though, you better do it, or you will hear all about it.

We hope you enjoy your new little jewels, just as much as we have enjoyed ours.
