I finally got Lorelei's cat tree set up.
I saw her in the living room of her previous home, but not for very
long. There was a laptop on the sofa, but I didn't see a TV set. They were packing to move, and the room was pretty empty: No TV, no table in the dining room....most of the furniture was already gone.

Maybe she was trained not to go it it. ingold1234[at]yahoo[dot]com (Gandalf) wrote in message ...
