Inge

Hi everyone.

Inge is doing well. She's returning to the shelter tomorrow.

She has a small appetite, but put on weight with 2 feedings per day of chicken baby food - ony accepted if it was warm.

Inge has lovely manners. She drinks from a water bowl - no spills. I didn't even try her on a water bottle.

As for litter pans, she has 4 thoughts. Good for doing her business #1 and #2. Good for digging in. Good for pushing around. Good for hollowing out a small depression to curl up and sleep in (this applies only to pans that are not being used for business #1 and #2).

She chuckles a lot when roaming around and giggles when you play with her. She loves to play in a really large bag, filled with more bags. With a hole in the bottom of the large bag, she soon learned she could enter/exit from either end. (I'm sure she'll love the box of leaves at the shelter.) She enjoys tubes, but she absolutely loves squeak toys. We do the grab and stash routine ... I squeak a toy, she grabs/dashes/stashes then comes back looking for the next one to grab ... she'll nip when I grab the toys from her stash.

Inge was a bit of a biter when I first took her home (broke skin and drew blood). After a couple of weeks, she became very comfortable with us and her biting lessened. She still bites during play, but not as hard.

Inge eats paper ! So please watch her, if she gets on the cage that has the volunteer sheets.

Best of all, Inge gives kisses.
