@Oh Little Oji omg it was so funny today. this is the declawed cat, who has made Mischa run and yelp numerous times. can't figure out how, since he's the one without claws. anyway, she always gets in trouble for chasing the cats and we've noticed the cats both seem to have picked up on that. they both instigate the hell out of her, today hubby gave her the ok and told her "go get the cat" lol she seriously looked at him like he was crazy it was like she understood English, it was a "seriously or are you setting me up" look lol!! this has been going on all day. finally it was time to go potty and for the first time ever, she waited and followed me up the steps. poor Mischa, Remi was waiting at the top of the steps hissing and growling, and swatting her! even with me right there, I still had to shoo the cat away just so she could get through!!
