Oh I am so glad you wrote! This is my first kitty and I've been reading about cats on the internet. I have given mine toys but will try the paper and toilet paper roll. She is the coolest cat ever! She sleeps with me every night and I have not even sneezed yet! I have water and my inhaler next to my bed and all I ever need is itch cream because she bites my hand and scratches it every night. She also wants to play at 3 am when I am trying to sleep. I got her some new treats today and can still find her more toys. This cat I felt so sorry for, she was out when we had 4 cold nights and had a distress cry. She is grateful to me and shows me this every day. I will call the vet and make an appt because she has an expiratory sound that seems like she is not controlling it, it is not a pur but another sound. I had the window cracked because the bedroom is warm and it has been warm here till Wed, then it will be in the 30's again.

Her stool sample was neg and she has been eating and toileting just fine. She is so lucky to have me and be inside the house. I am just waiting for the bad weather to hit and gosh, I feel so good about finding her! Any tips on favorite food for cats like sardines? or liverwurst? or fish? I made a scratch post but she has not used it yet, maybe sand paper would be best. Anything else you can think of I would appreciate. It was suggested by the vet to give her a bath in the sink not tub, I can try it. I just wish I could get her into a cat carrier by myself so I could take her to the vet. I've tried and she is too smart to go in. Any help is great here....
