I have a cat now... holy shit!

I was leaving the bar tonight and this cat came up to me and starting meowing and rubbing against my legs.  I told her to shoo, but she refused.  I opened the car door to get in, and she jumped right in

Awww, kitty!

Cat's don't normally need any training at all to use a litter box. You can usually just set them in it, and their instincts takes over. My advice is to pick up some litter on the way home so (s)he doesn't get used to the dirt.

[dearborn_guy]

Yeah, I think I'll do that. She used the dirt box w/o any prompting from me and then tracked dirt all over!

Yet another reason to get the real litter. Any name ideas yet?

[dearborn_guy]

Not sure. Nothing has struck me yet. Personality wise, she's a noisy girl. She's constantly meowing and she purrs just by being close. She's very affectionate. Maybe I should name her after a very loud adult movie star?

You may want to find out for sure if the cat is a boy or girl before making any final decisions...

[dearborn_guy]

Well I took your advice and got real litter. I set her in it and she kinda sniffed around, but didn't do anything. Hopefully she remembers where it is!

You may want to put a bit of dirt on top of it to adjust her to the new stuff.

Sometime during the night, she used the new litter, so no need. Finally her paws are clean, too (I saw her licking them).

Now what are you doing on LJ on a Friday night? :)

If I remember correctly, it was a stop home in between drinking with coworkers and the bar.

My kind of guy!
