This is me not scratching the furniture, ha ha! |
What makes Bellatrix so mean?
I'd like to introduce you to my new Persian kitten,
Bellatrix. We call her Bella for short.
Bella's life consists of bossing my older cat, Nigel,
around. From the first day we got her, Bella realized
that Nigel's already skittish nature would allow her to
dominate the house. Every time Nigel settles into one of
his regular perches, Bella pounces on him and chases him
out of his spot. And she doesn't take the perch for
herself--she just doesn't want him there. She also
rushes at Nigel like a lineman for no apparent reason;
when he gets upset, she goes and rubs against him to
make nice.
Bella takes liberties on anybody and everybody's food.
If someone's eating a sandwich and puts it on the coffee
table, Bella attempts to take the whole sandwich in her
mouth and drag it to the couch. This has happened
multiple times. She does this with any type of food in
her reach, whether you're sitting right in front of it
or not.
I can say one good thing for Bella--she doesn't scratch
the furniture (often). However, she likes using people's
arms, especially if they're hairy, as her personal
scratching post. She squeezes herself under the coffee
table when she doesn't want to be caught and scratches
your hand if you place it under there.
