Hi Kelly,
It sounds like you have come up with a very good and reasonable alternative for Livvy so please do not beat yourself up anymore. Seems like this has been going on for a VERY long time and you have been more patient than I could ever imagine. She's gonna have the luxury of being indoors AND outdoors and probably the envy of the others!! Birds and bugs to watch, fresh air Also, when it is time for her attention - it will be exclusive I assume You are a TERRIFIC meowmie! Feel any better?
