Duchess came to us when she was 4 months old (as a rescue cat). I was told that she was abused. It took her almost a year to start roaming the house and almost another year to vye for attention. Ever since, she joins me on the couch while I watch TV and loves to hop in the bed in the mornings with me and cuddles a lot. We have two dogs (both adopted after we got Duchess). It took her a little over a year to get used to them but now is completely unphased by them and even cuddles with the pup that was adopted shortly after her. There haven't been any squabbles amongst them. When Duchess is annoyed she just goes to her "spot" to get alone time. When the real estate market shifted, I had just become an empty-nester and it didn't make any sense to stay in a home of that size. So, I took advantage of the "seller's market", sold my home and moved to a townhome. I'm only allowed 2 pets here and Duchess needs a new, loving home.
