We ended up changing her name to Ellie but kept Dawn as a middle name.

She is an absolutely the most perfect cat. She is so patient with our two year old and is getting more and more comfortable with our two 100 pound dogs. She sure is running the house as the dogs keep out of her way. Ellie loves to cuddle on the couch after our son goes to bed and is comfortable roaming around the entire house. However, her favorite place is in the window hammock that overlooks our back yard. She also seems to find her way into our room each night and snuggles up either at my husband’s feet or on top of me. I’ve included some photos.
