Ha haa ha at this Geriatric!  "and if she freaks out it's only because she's a cat." Uh yeah! We have a cat too-kinda a "dog-cat" he rather fancies himself. Old fella now, but like yours, he is inside. Swims, like baths and riding in the car too. Obedient, comes quickly when called. Loves the vets office.  Oh, and he demands attention as well. Stranger in the house, whoever. Doesn't matter. After all,  he is The Cat. If a dog or two is in the way (even visiting strange dogs) or in their own dog bed, no biggie. He either sits on top of them, or give them a punch or two. He doesn't care, he is The Cat.

I do wonder what he, and our dogs reactions will be. I am thinking probably not too dramatic of a response ("Much Ado About Nothing?!")  but please do let me know what your cat does.
