It bites you. It’s a small price to pay for dust bunny removal. The cat will forget and forgive at the sound of a can opener.

We had a wonderful cat named Jeanie. She gave us 22 years of indifference and hairballs. I miss her. She was nine pounds of purr power. She was very protective of us, and us of her.

At nine lbs, she was quite feisty. I saw her shred a Rottweiler’s nose. She attacked a yellow Lab, and left it quivering. None of that aggression was directed to us and those we invited into our home. She was a good mouser.
