Did we have an experience with Rexie tonight!  Long story short of his
background for those who don't know: Litter of feral Siamese kittens found
by my cousin, she talked me into taking Rexie (at 4 weeks).  Bottle 3 times
a nite, training to go to the bathroom, litterbox, etc, I'm mommy, plain and
simple. He's almost 3 now, totally indoors. He and I by ourselves M-F, so
he's people-shy, but big attitude.

I went to clip his nails this evening, I do it all the time, yes he hates it
but we manage to get thru w/mimimal damage to me.

Tonight he went bonkers, snarling, growling, bit my thumb, the little sh_t!
Hubby took him from me to lend a strong male voice as discipline. Rex wanted
down, but Jim held him to calm him down. Now this is the weird part.  Rexie
almost NEVER lets Jim hold him. He's MY baby.

But Rexie lay on Jim, with minimal-to-no holding on Jim's part. Rexie just
lay there, ears back, and every minute or so, you'd hear the growl. You
Siamese owners know that growl - scary! But he stayed on Jim for a good 5
minutes! Don't know if he thought Jim was protecting him from me (cause he
bit me), or if Rex was just pissed at me and back-talking.

We're going thru some stuff now, as Rexie's on a diet (you can see previous
posts), and yesterday we went thru the trauma of going to the vet (he hates
the car and being 'manhandled') to be weighed.

I probably should have waited a day or two longer before clipping the nails,
but this was a temper tantrum, pure and simple. We're fine now, but it
lasted about 10 minutes total!

Weird?

PS:  He actually lost 3 oz.  Dr. Lucy was pleased!
