Vino was sitting alongside me on the couch with his back to me. I was
casually petting him on his back haunch as I was watching TV. All of
a sudden he did this 180 degree about face belly up flip where he
turned all the way around to face me and went belly up in the same
lightning fast move. He assumed an attack pose on my hand, claws
grasping and jaw open. Only he wasn't even really touching me. It
was all for show.

Quinn used to do this almost every day. You could watch him sit and
quiver almost, "Now what am I going to do?" And he'd do a back-over
flip and run off tail in air. Now that he's exiting adolescence it
happens less often, darn it! Norm

Mimi used to flip over, grab my hand and start hauling it into her
teeth. And then she'd just look up at me. Stinky hardly ever does
anything even close to biting.

Another entry in the Cat Olympics. Did you give him good style
points?
