@dlowan,
Speaking of surprises.....I am lying in bed reading and Viola was on my outstretched legs. She was a bit restless and I could tell she wanted a game. I was on alert a bit because of this. Then she began pawing at my leg and then she bit my knee!
She was told off and stalked off in high dudgeon. Then she came back and bit my knee again!!!!
Never have I been bitten as much or as painfully as by this tiny, innocent looking little cat.
Biting each other is how she and Sebastian often initiate play with each other....but it is unacceptable to do that to me!
We are going to need a time out room.
