No, she doesn't. And if she sees me and my walker coming, Melanie says that she
scampers out of the way. But she's a "people oriented" cat and she will appear
next to me on the bed or jump onto my lap if I'm sitting on a comfortable
chair.

Subject: [blind-democracy] Re: question
We've had cats forever, until about two years ago. Most of the time a cat is
far better at staying out of reach than a dog...or a child. We only used bells
because our one cat was such a super hunter, bringing in everything that moved.
We had a kitty door so our cats could potty in the back yard. We also have
used litter boxes without stinking up the house.
But cats have a habit of snuggling into the corner of the softer furniture, or
near a heat vent, rather than sprawling in the middle of a well traveled path.
So now I've set myself up for you to explain that your new member enjoys
sprawling in the middle of the doorway.

So now that this cat has entered my life, I have a question. I've had
cats ever since graduate school, up until about 4 years ago, and I've
always had enough sight to see where they were if they were several feet away
from me.
Now I don't. So today, Melanie bought a collar that has a tiny bell
attached so that I could hear this new cat moving around. However,
the bell barely makes a sound and my hearing is bad. So I'm wondering
if anyone has a solution. There's a place on this collar where an
additional bell could be added. Perhaps that would work. But we don't
want to burden Madelaine with a collar if it won't actually be useful.
This collar has a bell that's part of the collar, that looks like a
little metal ball, and that, I doubt, would warn a bird, if the cat
wearing it were outside and about to attack. Don't they put bells on
cats' collars to warn birds?
