Hi! Have you found answers to your questions? Precious prefers sleeping on or near her water dish, also. She ignored her buddy and tent. I think each Grey is different. It takes time to learn about your baby.
Hi! Hope you've had lots of time to read, read and READ about Greys. Yes, a Grey is work, and costs more than a cat or dog. The vet bills can add up even for a routine exam. But there is no other creature that can ever take the place of a wonderful companion Grey!
Hi and welcome. I'm glad for Paco AND you. I think the others have given you excellent advice. Re: cooking equipment. I beleve the general concensus is stainless steel is the safest and high quality lasts forever, at least I have had mine for more than sixty years.
