Last night, Shaw, washed Dixies ears & face for a
few minutes, then would hiss & growl into Dixies face, then stomp off.

By the 3rd time I caught on that Shaw was scolding her sister.

but Shaw did it with love because she was scared for her sister. Cats are amazing creatures.

I got her from a co-worker who said she was "a bitch." The first time I reached out to pet her, she flinched like I was going to hit her and it broke my heart. But when she saw that I wasn't going to hurt her, she never wanted me out of her sight. Wherever I went in the house, she went: next to me on the couch; in the bed with me while I slept; on the edge of the bathtub when I took a bath, etc.

Your photo of your cat on the edge of the tub reminded me of her.
