I have just never heard of this. Mattie, my youngest - she is about two
years old now - is NEVER in a bad mood. She always is willing to be
held if you pick her up. Tummy rubs are a-ok. She takes lickings from
her older siblings who still beat her up on occasion for no good reason
and keeps playing like nothing happened. Her purr button is always
ready to be pushed - touch her and she purrs - loud. She doesn't do
death glares or revenge. She is just sweet and loving and all the
things you want in a cat. I still haven't figured out why she sat in a
cage until she was 8 months old from the time she was a 12 week old
kitten. A lot of people missed out on one really fantastic cat. Their
loss my fantastic gain. I didn't know cats came in the model with no
bad mood.
Does anyone else have a nice intelligent cat that just never is in a bad
mood?

I've never seen Nanki-Poo in a bad mood, but he does have a mischievous
streak. Today he went out the cat door, then laid crossways across the
doorway so Lindy couldn't go out. Later he came in and chased her away from
her food. When she went over and started eating out of his dish, he chased
her away from there, too. Later she was lying on the couch and he jumped
her. However, his purr machine is always in working order.
Aren't we lucky? I mean, all of us who are slaves to cats are lucky, but
we're especially lucky.

Phoenix is always in a good mood. He has never put his claws out, not even
at the vets'! He sometimes wriggles a lot if he doesn't want to be cuddled,
but that is about as far as it goes. He is willing to be picked up by
strangers (including children) and he purrs very easily. Anyone can rub his
belly. He adores being vacumned and brushed. A real sweetie.

That's my Duffy! He is a truly sweet, loving, delightful cat. And, he's
clever -- he loves to climb and can get to the most unlikely places. I
have had visitors who have watched him for 15 or 20 minutes before they
realized that he is blind.

Now you've done it. It doesn't take much to get me started with Duffy and
the camera...so I'll follow through soon.
Thanks! ;o)

I guess Vino can be in a bad mood, but it's just so short lived and
wishy washy that you don't even notice it. He usually makes a short
complaint about being picked up but then immediately relaxes into your
arms. We can kiss him and bury our face in his fluffy belly any time
we want. Sometimes he gets overstimulated but it usually just seems
like he got playful all of a sudden. Only thing is, Vino's purr motor
is very quiet, you have to be right next too him to hear it.

Boyfriend is never in a bad mood. He is always delighted to see me when I
get up in the morning or come home from work. His face, which always has a
sweet expression on it, brightens.
He tolerates KFC's bad humour with grace. When she boxes his ears for no
other reason than he happens to be nearby he rarely retaliates, just now and
again if he feels it's too often he will give her one swipe back and one
hiss.
When I've needed to pick him up he has allowed me to although he isn't
comfortable with it. He is still rather wary about being picked up and he
will ask to go down. If he cannot go down, say he is going to TED, he won't
insist by scratching me, like Kitty definitely would.
He hasn't got a scratch or bite towards me in him.
He likes it if I am sitting quietly on my armchair or lying in the sofa
watching TV - which doesn't happen very often unfortunately - then he likes
to get up next to me. I have to pretend I haven't noticed or he will get
down straight away. When I "haven't noticed" that he is with me he will
settle down against me and invite me to a love-fest. Tickle-the-both-cheeks
is encouraged and tummy-rubs with rolls-on-the back and holding hands is not
out of the question.
It's a rare event, though. An honour.

Oh, all three of our cats are just wonderful love bugs.
Little Feet has never had an attitude in his life, and is always huggy
and cuddly.
Dulce Mae is such a sugar girl, I call her my princess. She's a
hippity-hoppity type, who loves to be petted, and has only cussed a
neighbor's cat. But she is always sweet to everyone who meets her.
Buster is more of a love-needy cat. He is too busy worrying that you
might not love him, to have an attitude. I'm pretty sure he's seen a
lot of abuse - Senyah tells me she saw one of the maintenace men kick
at him, back before Buster adopted us. I try to give him all the love
I can, so he knows thatnot everyone is an a**hole (by the way, that
maintenance man no longer works here - he got caught kicking at
someones verified pet dog).
Hugs and Purrs,
Mark

This is like Smokey. He's still making up for his feral days, though
he no longer seems concerned that we might someday stop loving (or
feeding) him, or that we'll toss him outside to fend for himself. He
still drinks in affection though.
The bitties (now 2 years old) have always been affectionate to us,
particularly DP (their "natural mother" according to them) but we were
surprised to find they hate our houseguests...Kumani is terrified of
strangers and Tyche gets hyperaggressive and hissy. They are loves
with us though.
Nocturne gives tough love. Our stupidity frustrates her, Smokey's
idiocy is appalling and the kittens can be irritatingly difficult to
bend to her will. She bites for the hell of it, exhumes the litterbox
when stressed and has been known to shove lamps over onto our heads.
But she's the one who tends us while we're sick, and warns me if DP is
having breathing problems at night.

People caught kicking animals should have their feet removed.

Indeed. We know nothing of Fen's history, but I think she was probably
kicked around - she really seems to have a dislike of feet close to her.
Makes walking past her a bit of a palaver. There again, she shows a
dislike of many things, cantankerous little madam that she is ;-)
