Well, that ended quite unexpectedly

7. We took a stray cat in 3 years ago right before Thanksgiving

weather was turning, I tried my hardest to figure out whose cat it was (it was declawed, etc) but just could't so I lost and we brought it in with the dog and 2 other cats.

The dog is a doodle, about 60 pounds, great pooch, but bullied the other two cats into the upstairs because she needed all the attention.

That was PART of why I fought it, I knew she would be an idiot.

But, the stray beat her - never attacked her or got mean, but absolutely would not back down. The dog spent months trying to bully her, and she was like Gahndi, never ran, never flinched, at the same time never was aggressive at all.

Eventually the dog gave in, and the two of them get a long fine. She does that thing where when the dog tries to push her around a bit, she will just stick her head up and rub against her, and the dog just lets go of it and leaves her alone.

Strays often are the best cats ...
