There are days, like today, that I feel like I am running a kindergarten. I
was sitting at my computer this morning, when I heard a low growl coming
from the vicinity of my kitchen. It was my siamese, Amanda, and our
conversation went like this:

Amanda: MOM! He's looking at me! (very low growl)

Me: Silver, leave her alone!

Silver: But MOM! I am just sitting here! (big yellow eyes all innocent)

Me: Will you two behave? (Go and get Silver and move him into dining room).
Now go play.

Few minutes later, I hear louder growls from Amanda. I look, and Silver is
looking at her, this time from the dining room. He has angled himself so he
can see her, but not be in the kitchen.

Amanda: MOM! He's STILL looking at me, and he flicked his tail at me this
time!

Silver: I did not! Honestly, mom, she is being a pill today!

Me: That's enough! (Go pick up Amanda, all the while listening to her
describe what she will do to Silver if she gets a chance, and put her in my
bedroom to chill out.)

Sigh. Kids! <G

I know how you feel. Luna is like that, she will start growling the
moment Basho, Issa or her sister Maya look at her. Which then causes
said onlookers to decide to chase her. Which causes a chase around the
house which has resulted in the untimely death of various mexican folk
art pieces. Sigh.

Hey! This sounds like my house with Pearl! I don't feel so alone now.

This is my house, too -- Oreo and Omar are always like this with Tucker,
sigh.

What's really funny is that if I put Pearl in the bedroom for a little
while, say 20 minutes (where by the way she has two trees, a big window a
catnapper, full sized bed, food, and private bathroom, plus a hidey box in
the closet) when I open the door (*if* she comes out and hasn't settled in
for a nap) she saunters out very sedately and walks past Grant and Sugar
like she is NEVER tempted to bate them for any reason whatsoever. IT's very
funny.

Umm- sounds like a couple of hours ago in my living room.
Ye'd think Dakota would realise what that lashing tail
means by now.

Wish I had a tail to lash some days - visible warning that it's
a "yes, dear" day.
