Thanks, some good suggestions there. It definately all comes from love, for sure. And the cat does love the attention because she often comes back for more, but I have visions of her tail being pulled out of the socket one day.

I might look into getting a tall cat stand that DD can't climb, that's a good idea TT40, also will brainstorm sectioning off a corner of the room somehow. Our windows are floor to ceiling unfortunately so no window sills, but our front porch can be DD proof, even though it's cold at least the afternoon sun comes in.
