The same.

The other cat, Dusty, is more-or-less solid grey with weak tabby markings on her face. Dusty disappears in complete daylight. We can search the house for her, only to find her sitting in the bathroom, seeming laughing at our inability to see her.

Yeah, that's a really productive exercise. :-)
