:>) Ahh, that sounds so cute! And you're right Nicole, the size of the house does have a lot to do with how annoying a kitty can be. My last house was HUGE -- 8 bedrooms, 3 livingrooms, 2 kitchens -- hardly even noticed the hair then. But now, I'm sharing this little 1-bedroom cottage with her, and the hair per square inch was getting just ridiculous ...

thanks again everyone!
