Hey, Karen, not all Indy houses have basements...we opted not to build one because the soil here is like concrete and has no drainage...would have been a really nasty indoor pool, but I know what you mean, it's nice to have one - specially in tornado season.
Kohala, I don't think miss prissy Ritz would take to a new kitty in the house either. She gets irritated when the neighbor cat traipses onto the deck occasionally..I've often wondered about whether she would be lonely because when we are both at work she has no one to play with, but she does not seem to handle change well, I have a feeling she would be a lot like our Pet Talk friend Logan and "Wonder Butter" with Mimi...I would take on just about any kitty if left to my own devices-not sure Ritzy would share in the enthusiasm
What's interesting is that what I've read about ferrel cat communities is that several females will nurse each other's kittens--interesting that female house cats are not so 'open' to motherhood!
Ritz is such a close companion to both my spouse and myself...for now we will stay a one kitty household. Ritzy Rules!
