Macy

She has adapted amazingly to our 3 other cats and our golden retriever! Macy is sweet and funny - she follows us everywhere in the house and loves to be petted and brushed. One of the cutest things she does is "hunt" a 5- inch rubber doorstop; we find it moved to different parts of the house when we're not looking - especially overnight. In the daytime, we know when she's moved it because she lets out some loud cries and runs - we immediately look and find the doorstop laying where she was - we're not sure if she carries it or bats it or both! Macy loves to lie between my husband's feet or on his chest in the evenings when he's in his recliner - it's adorable. Macy is such a good girl; there were concerns that she might not use her litter box, but she has never failed to use it at my mom's or at our house. Hilary Boorstein is the wonderful TARA volunteer who matched us with Macy; I completely agree with her counsel at the time- she was very upfront with Macy's history and told us that the most common reason a cat will avoid the litter box is if it is not kept clean. We have one large litter box for each of our cats and are vigilant in keeping them clean. We also use Feliway diffusers since our "fur family" grew from one dog and one cat to one dog and four cats within a 3 month period; we took in two cats that had belonged to my mom and one cat that had belonged to my husband's mom. I think the Feliway helped them all adjust more easily. I'll continue to use the diffusers for another couple of months since the male cat is still adjusting; he was the last one we took in and at 13 years old, had never lived with another pet! He's very loving, but wary of his new siblings and still hisses at them now and then. He chases our dog -very funny to watch! Or dog works hard to stay out of his way! Thanks for checking on Macy. She's a doll - we are so lucky to have her! Cheryl
