Yeah, from day one. When we brought her (don't know why I said him) in, she was like 5 pounds. You could see her bones. Had a flea collar on that was so loose, I don't know how it stayed on. I didn't even know if she was going to make it to the morning. But she took right to us and the other pets. We named her moochi because she is a mooch for attention. She gets on your belly or chest and kneads.
