Definetely try playing with her in her own room. I have to do that with Eliza, because otherwise
a) the boys will come in and take over
or
b)she will keep LOOKING for the boys to come in until they do..

if i have her in her own room and we play with what SHE likes (which currently is only yarn and string lol), then she is fine, because she realizes she can be as CRAZY as she wants, and the boys won't go "oh my, she's weird" lol. Not that they would anyway, but i tell you, I think she's stuck to her name of QUEEN Elizabeth... thinking that if another cat is anywhere near she must act proper and not play!

As for can food.. Eliza likes dry.. and the only can she'll eat is the kitty tuna or kitty tuna and eggs ( 9 lives so far only ).. and even that I've learned that she still only wants a small amount, and then prefers the rest dry...

Poor girl, when she was with my husbands parents, they never played with her, and gave her can food daily in all flavors.. and would leave it there next to her dry for a whole day, and wondered why she never ate it. I think that's also why I have problems with her liking too many toys.. she's not used to them!

Just take the time and learn what Louise likes and doesn't, and you'll be fine. Eliza comes up and meows at me too when she wants loving, or playin or eatin lol, sounds like she and louise should be best kitty buddies!
