I took a nap in the guest bedroom yesterday, and she came out from under the bed. She was living in a kennel in the lobby of the vet's office, so she isn't afraid of people. At one point there was a fly or something flitting around, and she did her best to catch it, but the neighbor's barking dog frightened her, so ZIP! under the bed. Apparently she does *talk*, but thus far has been quiet. Does have a loud purrer. When I gave her breakfast this morning, I had to coax her out from under the bed. Soon she'll get used to the house routine and noises.

Bonnie cat is a tortoise shell cat as well, and VERY talkative. So hopefully new kitty won't be as loud. She does have a pleasant voice, when she did meow (or mioux if she speaks french, she is from Louisiana afterall ). Bonnie cat does NOT have a pleasant voice.

Once I see her more relaxed and what her personality will be like, the name will come. But keep the ideas coming too!
