I also hope Poodle gets better. When I still has Whisper she had to go in for a teeth cleaning. She lost only 2 teeth. When I got her home she did not want to move for a week but after that she was back to her normal self.
Tidy Woman may want a cat but she needs to do some research on the proper care for a cat. If/when she does get one their house will no longer be as clean as it is or I should say was. I heard it said “You can have a clean house or kids/pets but you can not have both.”
They like what you have to say.
