An update on Princess

Thanks for all of your replies. I have tried to keep her in the house before, and keep the attackers outside. This works, as long as I can keep her confined. The problem is when she is feeling frisky, she will want to go outside again and I won't see her for several days in a row. She, like Tiger, will bolt out the door, when I open it for some reason. Tiger has been bugging me to let her outside, but I'm insisting, NO!, and she understands. I hope I can teach Princess the same.

Now that Fluffy's three kittens are becoming old enough to take care of themselves and play outside in the day time, there is no need for Fluffy to be in the house, because she is one of the main attackers on Princess. Yet Fluffy is a very affectionate cat herself. (What to do?). Now Princess is still sleeping on the towel on my bed and was there all night. She appears to be gaining strength. When she came in yesterday , her fur was messed up and she appeared in not too good shape, probably trying to escape the (dog-?) attacker. Also, that it was cold that night, colder than usual for this time of year, 35 deg. F (1 deg. C) according to my outside thermometer. I'm supposing now that she is beginning to appreciate a warm, safe place to sleep and eat in, considering what she went through. I will probably have her spayed soon, as all of my furkids are my responsibility and it will cost a few $ to get everything taken care of, but they are worth the effort. And then I will see what happens concerning all of their behavior. In the mean time, I will seek another home for Princess -but not just any home.
