It was really scarey! Besides that one issue, the cat was great. She tolerated my 3 kids smothering her all day, she was snuggly, mellow and very well behaved. I guess that she just couldn't help it, it was her instincts. She is quite happy at her new home though. There are two other cats there, and kids to play with her. We just visited her yesterday. I'm just gonna stick to my Yorkies from now on
