Check out what Mo wrote (and the pictures she sent) when we asked her about Dottie!
Dottie loves her catnip toys! She's found toys that my other cat Rosie stowed under the bed and I haven't seen for quite some time. Dottie bats the toys around from one bedroom to another and when she runs, she sounds like a big dog :-) Dottie also has a funny "I'm crazy" meow when she plays with the toys.
I bought her a special, ritzy wand toy by Martha Stewart. It took me about 15 minutes to choose this one - it has 3 separate attachments and each has small jingle balls. Dottie loves it!
Some other factoids about this gal: She loves kisses on her head...loves being brushed around her head and cheeks...is learning some of the same phrases that I use with my eyeless dog Harvey - when I say "approach" Dottie lifts her head up to meet my hand because she knows she is going to get pet! She loves hanging out on her scratcher and happens to be a very messy eater :-)
It sounds to us like Dottie's making herself right at home. Thank you, Mo, for loving her so much and so well!
And finally, here's a video of Dottie, playing with that "special, ritzy wand toy" that Mo got her. :)
Happy Friday, everybody! Oh, and be sure to come back on Sunday for a little tea and conversation with another ginger PAWS ladycat (Sophia). :)

What a heart warming story! Dottie must be so intelligent to learn commands on her own. And she is lucky she found such a loving and devoted mom. You do great work at PAWS! We are all smiley here now. Purrs and have a great weekend!
Thanks for the news on Dottie - that certainly is going to make my Friday a little extra bright and shiny!
Aw sounds like she has the perfect home!
What wonderful news about Dottie - we are so happy she has a loving home.
Luv Hanah and Lucy xx xx
I sooo needed to hear some good news right now, and this just made me smile! I'm so happy Dottie has a home!!! She looked like quite the sweetie when you shared her photos and story with me for our interview :)
I can relate to the blindness thing as I can't see much at all (sorry if you already knew that and I'm repeating). Something I got one Easter might interest Dottie! It's a little egg that beeps :) You can press a little button on it and it chirps. I think this would make an amazing little toy for a blind kitty! I just thought I'd share if you want to pass that along.
Thank you for the exciting update!
Awwwww darling Dottie!! Yay for you and your beautiful family!! Take care
