thank you both for the good thoughts. I pick her up tomorrow morning. She's only about 3 or 4lbs so there shouldn't be a problem. I know that she'll probably bite more when playing- I'm okay with that! It's the clawing I couldn't deal with- on me or my furniture! She's got plenty of scratching posts, but does she use em? :rolleye: Plus, she'll still have her black claws to learn to play with!
