The sound of a tiny kitty being dragged around...

[Alex]

Can't answer that one (though I've never had a cat do that). But with a new cat, especially one that wasn't in the best of environments, you should probably take it in to a vet for a general check-up if that is something you can afford. If they're not fixing their animals they very likely aren't getting them the proper shots, either.

And if I were nearby I'd be happy to bathe your cat. Kevy will be along momentarily to wiggle an eyebrow.
