The first was an outdoor cat who adopted us then disappeared a few weeks later. She was odd in that she loved being around us, but only wanted to be touched on her terms, which we didn't know. She was quick!<BR/><BR/>I think it will work with Syl.vie; I am learning her cues and she seems to be stopping herself, too. No bites or snaps today. All of them are getting along well and I think the lower stress will help.Crickethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13622985406269216862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8703107.post-71022245198622480062008-01-31T18:30:00.000-05:002008-01-31T18:30:00.000-05:00I want them critters nowhere near me...bad enough ...I want them critters nowhere near me...bad enough they make me sneeze.<BR/><BR/>I had a next door neighbor once who had a very agro-cat. This thing would venture up on top of semi-open doors. It would wait and leap at the heads of people in her apartment. That was the meanest cat I ever encountered.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8703107.post-30665591902306496832008-01-31T18:22:00.000-05:002008-01-31T18:22:00.000-05:00Very informative...

Wehave two cats and the male tends to kneed more than the female.. but loves to snuggle on your lap whilst digging his sharp claws into your flesh... Sure its comforting for him.. but when you are on the receiving end.. its not so nice...great post...Mrs. Hairy Womanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17953176969674262877noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8703107.post-87509309048998138482008-01-31T14:10:00.000-05:002008-01-31T14:10:00.000-05:00Neat!

My little ol' sweet one was alw...ahhhh,<BR/>fascinating. My little ol' sweet one was always a biter and scratcher when aroused, what I have now learned, by stroking, which she interpreted as sexual. I got a kick out of it and she never hurt me, but she surprised house guests sometimes. I always had to warn them---once you see her tail going, watch out!<BR/><BR/>She is old and sweet now and snuggles and never gets feisty anymore. She melts my heart.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
