RE: Need Cat Help, please.......
Thank you, again, for posting. I appreciate all of the suggestions, thoughts, etc. I have been calling her Jazz. She is all comfy, right here beside me and has no idea that she has a pre-arranged "date" with a wonderful Vet. :)

RE: Need Cat Help, please.......
Thank you for the quick replies. I thought I would check in quickly before turning in.
Just got through making the bed. I have a carpet cleaner that has an upholstery attachment. That is what I used to clean the mattress and the comforter, as the comforter is too big to fit in my washing machine. I cleaned both sides of it. Do you think that will be enough or do I still need to buy something else to put on them?
Thank you for the heads up about the Hartz wormer! That is what I bought and was on her food, that she wouldn't eat. I just through it away and put out some fresh; she is eating as I type.
She is showing the signs of "heat" that you mention. She is very vocal, wants outside, is raising her tail, and has a small amount of discharge. How often do they come in "heat" and for how long each time?
The worms are round worms, I think. I have seen this type of worm in dogs before. They are white and kind of roundish-flat.
She is urinating....remember my bed, but I also cleaned her box frequently today and now that she just went within the last hour.
As for the boys, I guess that I need to change my signature. Corky-poo died suddenly in March and Pepper-doodle still lives in HIS house with his dad. I don't live there anymore, although I get to see Pepper frequently.
Thanks, again, for the replies. I do appreciate your time and attention.

Need Cat Help, please.......
Sorry....this is long.....
I have had many dogs in my life, but not any cats. Sadly, someone dumped the prettiest female kitty here about three weeks ago. She is young, but not a kitten (maybe around a year, but plays like a kitten, so maybe not that old); weighs about 5 lbs. I think she was in the house at her previous place. The first day that I saw her, she came right to me with very little calling. She went right to the door, stood on her back feet to look in.
I am a softy when it comes to animals. So, I started feeding her. Winter weather showed up just a few days later and it began getting quite cold at night. Yes, I let her inside during the night. Put her in a bathroom that is not used, with the litter box in the tub. She took to that the first night, another reason I thought she might have been inside before. Two weeks ago, it stayed cold during the day and night. She has been inside almost all of the time. She follows me everywhere, like I know puppies to do.
When I'm not home, she is in the bathroom. When I'm here, she has been able to be run around the house. I have watched her closely, or so I thought, and she will go to her litter box to do her business, with no accidents. Until, Thursday evening....she peed on my bed! There is almost nothing worse than cat pee! (I noticed that she wasn't quite as playful that night.) Did not make me happy at all!!!! But, I cleaned it up and thought I was watching her very, very closely. She did it again tonight. And, again, she has been laying around today.
I discovered yesterday that she has worms. I bought wormer today, but can't get her to eat, so haven't gotten the paste down her yet. I, also, think she may be "in heat", if that's what you call it in cats. She is NOT going outside! I do NOT need kittens!
Looking for some guesses, hints, advice, etc. I will take her to the vet to be checked out and she will be spayed, again, not sure what you call it in cats. But, haven't had time with work and the holiday, etc. She has been acting fine until now. I would really like to find her another inside home. I just wasn't looking for an inside kitty. But, she is SO sweet and pretty. She will crawl into my lap and kind of on my chest and flop around until I hold her like a baby. Then, she purrs loudly, with contentment. She has been very trusting of me. The first night she was in the house, she was sound asleep right beside me on the couch on her back, like she had been here all of her life.
Please and thanks for reading this post that is too long. And, please and thanks for your thoughts. I really don't have any cat experiences to draw from.

PS - Are cats noses supposed to be cool and wet, like a dogs?

RE: Vista / Wireless Connectivity
Thank you, everyone, for the replies and discussion. It is quite informative.
As for the subject line, I started to ask the question in one way and it included the fact that Vista is on the machine that is having issues. When I changed the question, I forgot to change the subject line.
Everything seems to work fine during the daytime. But, in the evenings, the Interet connection bounces like a yo-yo. The connection will drop many times. Just trying to put two and two together, the neighbors are gone frequently during the day and are home in the evenings. And, suspect they are online more in the evenings. That's what brought the question. All seemed to work fine until recently.
Thanks, again. Will try changing the channel.

Vista / Wireless Connectivity
Is it possible to get enough interference from the neighbor's wireless setup to cause connectivity issues with one's own wireless router, causing Internet connectivity to drop?
Please and thanks for your time and responses.
