Rosie has always like my daughters so they've never been a problem - she's much more confident in her own home about people - she won't let anyone near her outside (that's good) and shoots indoors at any strange noise.
Because we played with her bopping her and her bopping us as a kitten she likes to play sort of 'boxing' games - and visitors are amazed at the power of her hits! no claws but you really hear the
thump she gives you!
... maybe that's why Paddy hasn't become top cat! power balance is even.
One of my pressies was a little book called Cat Quips (lovely) and one quote is specially for Setanta
'Cats are smarter than dogs. You can't get 8 cats to pull a sled through snow'.
and for msolga (remembering how Flatty likes to sleep on top of her head in cold weather)
'Cats don't mind sharing the bed with fellow cats, as long as the area is equitably divided among them. Usually there is room for everyone on a first come first served basis - under the blankets, on top of the blanket, on the the pillow, under the pillow, at the head of the bed, at the foot of the bed, in that order.
Any space left goes to the owner'
