that if I flicked my foot she would probably jump about four feet in the air and I couldn't resist. She peeled out on my foot and really slashed me pretty good with her hind claws! That's what I get by trying to amuse myself by scaring my cat.

He was rather arrogant, but had obviously been trained and house-broken, so we kept him.

One evening, the family was enjoying "Gun Smoke" and it was nearing the end of the show. Tom walked through the room and ran to the front door, a signal that he had to go outside. No one moved, as the show was getting to the good part. One more time, Tom walked in front of us all, meowed and ran to the front door. No one moved. Third time, Tom walked into the room, looked at each of us glued to the screen and very nicely backed up to the TV screen and cut loose with a yellow stream.

In cat talk, I guess that was "Piss on you!"

I heard the backstory on that one day. He had a lady friend who had come to spend the night at his house. Kitty had already determined that she did not like said lady friend. Lady friend left her suitcase open on the bed while they went out to dinner. At bed time they found the "gift" that kitty had left on lady friends lovely new negligee.

Kitty went to live at the veterinary office after that.

thanks for the post -

From the sound she makes, is getting older. Beautiful cat but she had knots in her fur. She also huge, but my daughter and my son in law gave her a bath. Knots couldn’t be removed.

So I called our vet and had to get her a lion cut, she had the cutest boots when she was done. It had to be done and the smell and knots were gone.

The next day, she comes over to me and scratch me across the top of my hand. She knew it was I who put her through the knock out sleepy cut.

I respected her right to tell me off. We’re good now.

Might put in a picture, if I find it.
