Persephone is wierd in so many ways that I don't know where to begin.

Spock is easier.  He is obsessed with going outside, but that's not
very odd.  The one odd think he just *loves* is being spun around (and
around and around) on those office chairs where the seat turns 360
degrees.  He will hop up on one of our two office chairs and *demand*
to be spun and will stay on there until he is too dizzy to walk,
whereupon he will slither off (can't jump when you're dizzy) and lay
flat-out on the ground, purring.  A little later he will jump up for
another go.  Makes me and Dave laugh every time.

Persephone loves chasing and retrieving.  She loves paddling in water
(and flinging it everywhere).  She is an inveterate
toe-chaser/bedmouse killer.  She chews (gently) on my fingers when I
type.  She suckles my neck when I let her (not often).  She bosses the
dogs.  She plays the chair game with Mum and only Mum.  She talks in
whole sentences.  She purrs in double-time.  She is obsessed with
toilet flushing.  She hates the outside, except the pot where we grow
grass for them.  She thinks me and Dave are normal (that's the
clincher!).
Actually, I've seen examples of all of these behaviours from members
of the group, so maybe she's not so odd.

Ted is old and grumpy and proudly carries a "dangerous animal" note at
TED's surgery.  She doesn't need to be wierd.  She just *is*.

Glad you enjoyed them! The silver paper I had in mind was the kind you
find around chocolates :-))
Interesting that you used to work for a typesetters, was it pre-computer
or post?

I couldn't work out at first how the tomato had made its way out of the
kitchen, until I saw the two vampire-like fang-holes in is skin....

  Oh god, what have I said, that word and all the ladies swoon ...

Amber likes to rub his face on my sweaty shoes as soon as I take them
off. And he loves to sleep on top of my laundry. one day I tossed a
rug on top of the laundry. It didn't smell like me and he got out of
there in a huff.

Djoser is rather kinky about the way he looks wrestling a throw rug.
Kind of like he is getting his jollies off.

I have an old plastic shower curtain hanging beside the refridgerator
to insulate it from the heat of the wood stove. Robin has a thing
about it. Every time he walks by, his tail curves until it waves under
the curtain and then he turns and lightly attacks the curtain. The
botton 10 inches of the curtain is now fringed.

Sheba is crazy about Cheetos. they are not on her diet. But every time
I get them out or rattle a plastic bag she attacks me to give her
some. i usually end up giving her a couple tiny bites to satisfy her.
I figure the stress of not getting any is worse for her than the tiny
amount of fat and spice in a couple little bites.

Well, sounds like Frank has an underwear fetish; harmless, anyway. Just keep
him away from neighbors' clotheslines.....
