That’s the easiest thing. I found mine under a car at the place I work. There was a dog in the house and it was kind of a gamble, but it all turned out well.
I understand. From my experience, though, all it takes is a couple of days and your mom will be the cat’s best friend! In any case, I hope that a cat will choose you soon!
Omg, so pretty. My partner made a bed of a towel on a pillow. The kitty chose the clean laundry that I left on top of the dresser. I had to toss a clean tshirt back in the laundry just this morning because it was covered in fur.
