File Under: Here kitty, kitty.
So no, I haven't gotten rid of my cat. I'm working with her to try to change her behavior. She acts out in the early evening. If I can distract her at the time that her outbursts occur, then maybe I can break her of it. After dinner each evening I break out the toys and tire her out a bit. So far she seems to appreciate the attention and hasn't misbehaved.
She must know I'm typing about her, she's sitting in my lap with her head resting on my arm.
