We never dreamed of having a cat and somehow we managed to end up with one who had been starved by her owners

Where did you get your cat from? Was it a kitty or an older cat?
She was about 5 months and looking at it I am glad we never got a little kitten cause this kitty can give as good as an almost 2 year old can play

What kind of cat do you have?

Apparently shes a medium hair domestic cat??

Do they shed really bad?
Not even remotely as much as I expected!

What about litter training (because cleaning up poo from a cat and kids would kill me!)?
Our cat goes outside in one particular spot. Not ideal but it works for us.

Do your kids like your cat (if you have them)?
She absolutely adores the kitty! And will get the biscuits and open the front door whilst singing out for her 'puss, puss, puss'. Never imagined they would be such good pals. DD gets a bit rough at times but the cat gives as good as she gets, although DD finds that a bit amusing and giggles hysterically at a nip off the cat!

Do they go outside at all or are they stricly inside? (my pet peeve is random cats using my yard as a litter box so I would not want to have our cat wandering the city).
We live in the country and our cat does go out but doesnt venture far from home at all. She sleeps inside however.

Honestly, we love our cat and are so glad that she just 'appeared' in our lives cause we wouldnt have ever gotten one otherwise, having always been dog people!
