Liz, that game they play to get close to you, as well as the snoozing ritual are similiar to some we have with ours here. I am just coming to learn of these traits as I have had just the one cat, Ophelia, for about five years. After we got the second, Eclipse, we began to see the way they would interact and the dominance one would exert over the other.
Now with the kitten, Iki, there are so many facets of their personalities being revealed it's quite amazing and exciting .
Love hearing your Cat tales, Liz.
Lori, yeah I know. Even with pants on we can feel the claws on the legs. I have little scratch marks all over my hands and arm. Funny thing too is a friend took a portrait of me with his light set up. A few came out well, but I had posed with my chin on my fist as I was leaning on a table. The back of my hand which was facing camera had two scratch marks on it from cleaning the little guy while he was struggling to get free. I decided to leave them in instead of cloning them off with PS. The portraits on my website.
So far, he does not climb curtains or even play with them. Usually when he does something I don't like and I let him know with a stern warning, he seems to understand and not repeat. I hope I remain that lucky . . .
Paul, I'll echo what Lori said. If I ever come back as a cat, I gotta find your place . . .
The only one of ours that shows even an interest in something other than cat food is Eclipse. Usually dairy stuff she comes a sniffing. So I set down some pieces of cheese for her one day. She sniffs, tastes, plays with it a bit and then leaves it. Same with a bowl of milk. Taste a bit and then leave.
Post some more images of Tess when you can. She looks to be quite a character.
Here are some of the little guy with Eclipse in the box. The ones on top of a box are
Ophelia.(laying down the law)

Oh you could open the floodgates, I love photographing Tess
In order (I hope)
1. I picked a cat from the sanctuary by sitting on the floor and waiting for a cat to choose me.
2. Not only that but she sat on my lap first day we met.
3. Second weekend we went back to make sure and Tess remembered us, sitting on Angie.
4. She came home in the cat basket, and was so comfortable she didn't leave it.
5. and how long was it before I woke up to this? less than a week !
This is the cat rescued from a farm, that was going to have an attitude and be independent.
Well that's what the sanctuary thought
Tess has other ideas !
They were right about her foot habit though, she will pounce on feet and kill them as you walk by.
But why didn't they mention the pen fetish?
She will hunt and kill pens. She will snatch them out of your hand as you write and run with them.
We have to hide our pens after we've finished with them !
Gary,
Ophelia looks a bit like Molly..........

Holy @#%&, LOL. When I first opned the thread and saw the pics of Molly, I thought "Did I post these pics of Ophelia and Eclipse"? Don't remember having those nor do I have that chair and carpet!
Amazing. . . I love when they lay on their side like that and then roll on their back with legs out like they are airing out their privates. Looks like a sweet girl.
