Stop it Animala!

When Grumpy was a kitten:

He may very well have a medical problem that accounts for this behavior, and it won't necessarily be found by the sort of examination he's likely to get from a shelter vet.

Years ago, there was a fairly highly ranked pro tennis player named Helen Kelesi, whose frequent McEnroe-like tantrums were legendary, earning her the nickname "Hurricane Helen". This behavior went on for years, and everybody just assumed she was an arrogant jerk (like McEnroe). But eventually she started getting bad headaches and was discovered to have a large brain tumor, which had likely been the cause of her erratic behavior.

Word to the wise: Lock your cat flap before leaving home...

Just because cats have big courage, doesn't mean they're rotten.

I Loved Reading this Story, Zechariah, and I Loved your "Grumpy" Poem, Jack! I Hope there's a Human Somewhere that will Find a Special Place in Grumpy's Heart! : )

Just because cats have big courage, doesn't mean they're rotten.

It can, though, mean they are foolhardy:

[Lady Jag]

The cat made it, didn't it.

That's not foolhardy, that's chutzpah!

[Lady Jag]

You got that right.

It's simple:   CATS RULE.

I wonder if that silly goose's tail is always that big or if it's fluffed up like that for the bear - when my tabby fluffs his tail it means he thinks it's time to kick butt.

So where's the "Cat Whisperer"?

[RepoGirl]

Stink was just a very bad tempered princess who only showed affection to my brother. Everyone else was beneath her and deserving of as much hatred and bile as she could spit out. She was a lot like the cat in Babe, only fatter.

My own batch of cats are good natured and a bit weird, and the lone male of the bunch has no fear of anything. What kind of dogs do/did you have?

[Lady Jag]

That's a kick butt tail. Note the cat's deliberate, confident approach and study the bear. The bear is already leaving and keeping an eye looking over his shoulder at his nemisis, the cat.

Different cat:

[Twinkie]

Mutts. One was about 17 when she died, the other one 12 or 13. I was just kidding about Stuffy murdering them, but she is tough as nails. Had to be to survive those rowdy dogs. Those two dogs actually played with two kittens so rough that they finally killed them. We didn't find those kittens until months later under tool cabinets in a garage, just thought they had wandered off.

[RepoGirl]

We just adopted a kitten a few weeks ago, a slinky little stripey grey tabby we named Chase. Her arch nemesis (and best friend) is our beloved Rottie, Ursa. Ursa is probably the most tender hearted dog I've ever met (she's also the bravest, but only when bears are in the yard).

This kitten runs rings around her. There's probably an 87 lb. weight difference between them, and yet Chase has no fear of Ursa. She just saunters up to the dog, swats her nose, and struts off. Ursa's just flabbergasted.

Cats and Dogs are such a great combo, eh?

My brother had a great cat and dog combo, the dog would have the entire cat's head in its mouth, slobbering all over it, while its two front paws pinned the cat...and the cat would be yowling, but it was all a game...the cat could have escaped any time it wanted...:)

Gotta love a cat like that!
