That's just affection. Mutts do that, too. Why do you think some are
known as "lap dogs"?

So long as they can co-exist. Sometimes cats and dogs are like baking
soda and vinegar - when they mix there's a lot of fizzing and usually
a mess to clean up. Other time they can be besties.

I bought a cat a scratching post one time. She still insisted on using
a favourite door frame. When it got too disreputable looking I went down
the lumber yard and bought some epoxy trim. And she still wouldn't use
the scratching post. Just changed doors.

Just remember to change the litter pan *before* it gets aromatic. And,
if you need to buy litter - go down your auto parts store and get a bag
of floor dry (oil absorbent). It's the same stuff that kitty litter is
made of (without perfume) and it can multi-task. Kitty litter, oil spill
absorbent, and traction sand in winter. Bv)= Plus a 30# bag is about
the same price as a 5# jug of Tidy Cat.
I DO lie a bargain.
