Thanks guys. BASENJI? I'll have to look that up. Both of our cats came from the local animal shelter. They love Emily, too.

No Emily doesn't bark much, but she can kiss you to death. And she is really smart although, she thinks she's a cat. We took her to the park where there is a dog run. She was frighten at first of the other dogs. She's never been around dogs, just cats. A couple of dogs started to chase her one at a time. Then she ran abruptly face to face with another dog. She yelped as if hurt. Then about 6-8 dogs ganged up and started chasing her. They backed her up to a corner of the fence, before we, along with other dog owners could rescue her. She was scared to death. So was I. We'll take her back when it's not so crowded. My husband said it was because the other dogs sense she was afraid and the weaker one. I think it was because they were jealous of her Belizean accent. The bullies!!!

I'd love to bring her back to visit Belize but, I wouldn't want her to travel in the baggage compartment. She'll have to stay with relatives.
