What makes Barbie so mean?
We got this cute, petite little
kitty about 6 years ago. The first year was pretty uneventful,
regular cute kitten stuff; but after she matured, look out! She
hates all other cats. I have enclosed a photo of her with Toby,
the only cat she will tolerate. When other cats get too close, she
screams in their face. She wakes us all up in the middle of the
night sometimes because one of the other cats came too
close.
She sleeps next to me in bed, and
if I have to get up for ANY reason, she has a fit! This includes
howling, hissing, or becoming immobile. She has another endearing
trait. If she goes outside at night she climbs up on the roof of
the house (via a convenient tree) and runs back and forth. Did I
mention she has a loud, loud voice? She knows right where our
bedroom window is and she will howl there, run across to the other
side of the house, and then run back.
If you decide to let her in, she
will howl even louder, and after 10 minutes of coaxing, she will
come back in. Meanwhile you are now freezing and thoroughly awake.
Barbie has another endearing habit:
she doesn't eat. She will watch everyone else eat, and when all
the dishes are empty, she will finally decide she is hungry. So
you have to feed her specially, since of course there is no food
left.
