You said it, your attention. I have left and then when they all thought I was gone snuck around to a window and everyone was just a peaceful as could be. They all follow me around the house and want to be close. That is when the hissing, screaming and slapping starts. Not everyone fits on one lap and of course, no one wants the others near them. I want my own space. Back off. I am trying to work out a schedule: Homey for 1/2 hour, then Casey, on down the line till I have worked thru all 7. They still are not too sure about this kind of thing. ---- Lorrie <felineres...@kvinet.com> wrote: > Natalie, I'd like to hear about your method of introductions. > and I'd love to know how many cats you have.
