Gini, this sounds just like our Scooter's behavior!! Very strange, huh? It's wierd, because Scooter is really a one person cat. He loves his daddy, which is adorable...but he really can't stand anyone else including me! LOL LOL So, I guess you could say he's really loyal to his daddy!
Cats can be so confusing sometimes, but we love em anyway. Your Patches sounds like she was a very precious girl Do you have any pics of her?

I'm thinking that if Crookshanks is peeing on the door, it's probably because of all the other cats that come into our yard to eat her food...which would be understandable. I guess I'll have to make a point of looking at the door tonight when I get home...

Oh Karen, I am sorry to say, Yes! female cats pee in the house.
I have forest green carpeting and there is discoloring in every room from my (rainbow bridge) calico, Patches. She peed at the slightest whim - in front of us - while we weren't looking, anywhere, anytime. I had her for over 16 1/2 years and she was a problem child from day one!!...
