Special Delivery from Urban Oasis: Cat in a box.

We have three Basset Hounds and one cat at the Urban Oasis. The dogs and cats are not allowed in the bedrooms and because the loft is so big ( 30 foot ceilings) without a lot of upholstery, most people with allergies are pretty much okay. But one thing we always tell people is, “Don’t pet the cat”. The thing is, Shelly is a big tease. She will come around and rub up against your leg and look at you very seductively, but start petting her and she will yowl at you and tell you in no uncertain terms that you are not to pet her. Her behavior is confusing and I have tried to tell her that it is not very nice to tease the guests but I guess you can’t teach an old cat new tricks.
