Then one day we had to take her to the vet. She got thru the shot OK, but refused to open her mouth for the pill. Being the big tough soldier, I volunteered to accomplish that simple chore. Well, to make that long story short -- two puncture wounds to two fingers, and then she would not stay in the same room with me under any circumstances for FIVE YEARS almost to the day.
And I always thought Englishmen held the prize for snubbing if they don't like you. No more. Angel still holds that title.
Calicos are well known for being spirited...the more loving they are normally, the more spirited when given reason. We’ve got a calico who tolerates the antics of my year and a half old kitty brothers with good humor and the occasional grooming, doesn’t so much as lay her ears back if accidentally pushed or kicked by my grandmother (bedridden and a bit senile), and otherwise every bit acts the part of a “good kitty”.
But...get her to the vet and she turns into a hissing, snarling, growling, mini wildcat.
