Oh I am sorry about Ivory. If you posted this prior, I missed it as I don;t always get to all the threads. Does your cali have other cats at home? I know the dogs are companions also but they always seem to have their favorites.
With my Cali, she never really has had cat friends... she bonded to me & really did well with Oliver. They would cuddle together & he would lick her all over all the time & she would groom him also
Yes, we have Snicky and Angus Jr.. However, they are not the best of buds. The dogs love her, though.
