It's lovely that both your Gran and your Mum have given older cats a new home. Like you say, sometimes it can take a while for them to become accustomed to their new surroundings. Lying in the litter tray can be a sign of stress, cats often do that as they recognise it as a safe place. When Jules stops lying in the litter tray you will know that she is happy in her new home. I hope it's very soon!
she has a bed she lays in now.
she sits up kneading it.
it almost looks like she smiles.
but she is a talker she talked all last night my parents didnt get alot of sleep. and dad says jokingly that she needs a muzzle LOL
LOL some cats are very talkative. I know my Glamour could speak for hours too... Here Diwan is very silent only talking when food is taking too much time to get to his bowl. Cyrano talks when he is bored and Ebony when we leave him alone (even when the doors are all open)
Adonis talks a lot too, especially when HE decides it's bedtime and we are watching something on tv. Really it would be easier to just go to bed because you can't hear the dialogue anyway once he starts!!
