I thought it was bad enough with Stosh playing Tarzan on my hair. Oh no.
Roxie has an almighty strength I didn't think possible in an 8 pound cat.

It was vet time in recent weeks. Roxie's not much for being held as it is,
and when she saw the carrier she went ballistic. I simply could not control
her! Even only halfway in the carrier, she outdid the twolegs by pulling
herself out, hitching on to me and crawling up my body like one of those
human spider guys climbing the side of a building. After about 15 minutes I
had to put on my heavy coat for armor. I ended up with huge cat-marks all
over my neck and chest, and I had coworkers ask me just what exactly Louie
and I do for fun on our days off.

It amazes me, because Roxie is so slim. She must have some Oriental breed
lurking in her DNA, with her triangular face and thin build. Actually she's
an athlete: there's not a speck of body fat on her, according to the vet,
and under the tux she's all wiry muscle. She's differently built from Stosh,
andother strong and muscular cat, but Stosh looks like the Crusher wrestler
from the Bugs Bunny cartoons, very big and bulky and solid. He's thirteen
pounds; Roxie is eight. And who swings on my hair? The big guy!

Blessed be,
Baha
